“The intent of each product is to clear away conventional standards of luxury by magnifying what is essential and editing out excess. Through the exploration of materials and forms, Building Block suggests a minimalist alternative to accessories, finding continual inspiration in returning to square one.”
Building Block is a multi-medium design studio based in Los Angeles, established by Kimberly and Nancy Wu in 2011.
