Design with intent
Design that means something. Evolving away from pretty objects into inspiring pieces that tell a story
Who we are
Pax consist of a small team of creatives working to build an institution of exploration
Where we're going
We aim to be a nucleus of exchange and discovery in everything the world has to offer
How it all got started...
It all started with a single plane ticket. A spontaneous leap of faith on a journey around the world. Astounded by the incredible artisans we'd meet, stories to be told, and traditions to be preserved.
Every trip bringing back suitcases full of textiles, ceramics, crafts, and memories. These experiences opened our eyes to a whole world of design and inspiration that exists around the world
It was difficult coming home to America where large home goods retailers offer over-priced decor, of poor quality craftsmanship, and uninspired designs.
This became the genesis for Pax. Working with artisans around the world to source truly remarkable home goods, in a time of mass production.
In this way, we can help preserve and purvey the stories and traditions of artists around the globe as well as cultivate a world where the objects around us are made with intent.
Our Core Perspectives
Made with intent
Away from the factory floor and into the hand of artisans who care
Focus
Small collections of curated pieces rather than chasing design fads or adhering to a specific design styles
We're not industry experts
We don't have years of experience as industry veterans in the home goods space doing things the same old way.
But that's why we're different. We're a small team of travelers, wanderers, artists, and students of history.
Seeking to building something different, small batch curated decor from artisans around the world
Turns out it's hard(very hard). That's why other retailers continue to turn to factories and mass produced designs.
But sometimes you have to solve hard problems to create a future you want to see in the world.
