TOGETHER, ELSEWHERE

A design house for families shaped by more than one place.

Chouette designs objects and publishes writing for families shaped by more than one place, language, or history.

We believe family life belongs in public space—on streets and trains, in cafés and markets, at borders and in waiting rooms.

We write about cities, infrastructure, memory, and the meaning of home. We treat design as a cultural act and family life as a public condition.
