From artifact to ceremony
Each heirloom becomes architecture. The design doesn't reference the past — it gives the past a seat at the table.


The heirloom
The Okonkwo Family
A 1967 christening gown in hand-crocheted lace
The gown became the centrepiece: draped over a wicker bassinet surrounded by white garden roses, ube yam blossoms, and a hand-lettered card in Igbo. Every guest touched it on their way to their seat.

The Reyes Family
A single Talavera tile from Abuela Carmen's kitchen
The tile's cobalt-and-terracotta palette became the entire invitation suite — letterpress printed on cotton paper. The dessert table echoed the exact colors, down to the sugar work on the cake.

The heirloom
The Nakamura Family
A bolt of Nishijin-ori silk from her grandmother's obi
Narrow strips of the silk ran beneath each place setting as table runners. The ceremony opened with the grandmother tying a traditional obi knot, and every guest received a small origami crane folded from the same fabric print.
