Studio Swine

est. 2011 Based in London, UK

Studio Swine (Super Wide Interdisciplinary New Explorers) is a design and art collective led by Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves, known for its exploration of materials, sustainability, and immersive storytelling.

Blending design, sculpture, and filmmaking, the studio creates thought-provoking works that engage with themes of nature, industry, and global culture. Their pieces range from collectible furniture to large-scale installations, each reflecting a deep curiosity for craftsmanship and the environmental potential of design.

With a research-driven approach, Studio Swine transforms overlooked materials — ranging from ocean plastic to aluminum foam — into poetic, visually striking objects. Their work challenges conventional ideas of luxury and waste, bringing together high craft and innovative production techniques.

Through exhibitions, collaborations, and installations worldwide, Studio Swine continues to push the boundaries of contemporary design, offering pieces that spark conversation and inspire a deeper connection to materiality.

“As designers we always feel like there’s too much stuff in this world [...] I think the challenge always is, how can we create something that’s meaningful; that’s not adding to the kind of waste resources in this world or having the least impact to precious materials in this world”
