About APPARATUS
APPARATUS is a New York-based interdisciplinary design studio that explores the relationship of lighting, furniture and objects in their environments. Predicated on the modernist principle of Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art, its fully articulated collections reveal individual pieces as artefacts of a holistic world – each referencing the historical and cultural mood summoned by a singular vision.
The studio threads the historical and the cultural through a modern lens. APPARATUS was co-founded in 2012 by Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson.
