Nine sculptural design objects from the Savvy Studio founder’s repertoire—including low-slung stools made with his community—speak to his predilection for “going through each day, observantly and present in the natural world.” A natural elegance pervades, thanks to materials such as wood, glass, stone, and ceramic, which balance gentleness and strength while leaving each object’s meaning open to interpretation. “I see this as a concrete poem or haiku,” Prieto says, “something for others to engage with and feel connected to, as I do.”
