Around the Studio is an interdisciplinary design practice founded by Tika Shelia (b.1996) and Ano Jishkariani (b.1996) in 2022. They were born and started their practice in Tbilisi, Georgia, and are now living in between New York and Tbilisi. The studio employs a diverse range of practices, including object design, collectible furniture, spatial and architectural design, and installation.
The Studio explores cultural, social, and political themes through multidisciplinary projects that merge community engagement and collaboration. Their practice focuses on transforming objects and materials that emerge from collective actions into functional, everyday items. By reimagining public symbols as domestic objects, Around the Studio creates a dialogue between personal environments and larger societal movements. By integrating local traditions, contemporary issues, and diverse disciplines, Around the Studio seeks to create spaces and experiences that encourage reflection, participation, and collective action.
