A Vancouver-based design studio known for its flexible modular furniture, space partitions, and lighting made from paper and textiles. As a studio technician I collaborated with the team in research, development, production, and delivery of products. As media I contributed to the creation, customization, and promotion of molo’s ethereal and innovative designs.
