Objects with a point of view.

Rare Silhouette is a product design studio exploring form, material, light and digital fabrication.

We don't design objects simply to fill a space. We design them to change how the space is experienced.

Noxvii by Rare Silhouette
Noxvii / Light + Form

Our Process

01—04
01
Concept
Every object begins with an idea, a question, or an observation about how we interact with the things around us.
02
Experiment
Forms, materials and textures are tested. Digital fabrication allows us to iterate quickly and challenge conventional production methods.
03
Refine
Prototypes are examined, adjusted and rebuilt. Small changes in proportion, texture and detail can completely change an object's presence.
04
Make
The final object is produced in limited quantities, with close attention to the details that define it.

Process / 02

We make
what we
imagine.

3D printing gives us the freedom to prototype, test and refine forms directly. The manufacturing process becomes part of the design language itself.

Material / 03

Every
detail
was earned.

Layer by layer, the material becomes the form. What could be hidden becomes part of the object.

A working philosophy

Fewer things.
Better considered.
Made differently.

Rare Silhouette

Made rare.

We create objects for people who notice the details others overlook.
Objects, deliberately made.
