Brand B

Brand B is a Sydney design studio focused on uniting deliberate design with elevated experience, creating a space for curiosity, creativity and connection. Right now that takes shape through hands-on paper lamp workshops in Crows Nest, led by founder Boden.Meet Brand BIt started on a trip to Japan about four years ago. Boden came across the local paper craft there and couldn't stop thinking about it, he wanted something like it in his own home. Back in Sydney he started experimenting, then began hosting small workshops for friends. They loved it just as much as he did, and that's really what started Brand B, he wanted more people to feel that.Brand B comes from a simple belief: good design and natural materials, made to last. Boden's always been drawn to soft, warm lighting and objects that make a room feel a bit more considered, the kind of piece you notice the second you walk in. The workshop is built around that same idea, slow down, work with your hands, make something worth keeping.Why Boden loves teaching..."Honestly, watching my friends fall in love with their own lamp is what made me want to open this up to more people. Seeing someone proud of something they built in one sitting, that's the whole reason I keep doing this."His interest in interiors..."I've always loved soft, warm lighting and objects that make a room feel a bit more thoughtful. A paper lamp does exactly that, it changes how a room feels."You'll leave the workshop with..."A lamp you built with your own two hands, and honestly, a bit more confidence that you can make beautiful things yourself."
