Dario Narvaez Design believes that objects are revealed by layers, and don’t need to scream for attention to be heard or understood. Objects can hide messages that are only revealed by the act of curiosity and time. Therefore, the connection with them becomes an experience that breaks the boundaries of the contemplative, and promotes interaction, ritual, gestures, play and memories.
