Mike Ruiz-Serra is a New York-based designer whose work pushes the boundaries of material and form. His practice explores innovative fabrication techniques, particularly with gypsum-reinforced paper pulp, shaping raw, sculptural pieces through experimental molding processes. Informed by a familial connection to archaeology, his designs embrace organic irregularities, tactile finishes, and a balance between structure and fluidity. His collection spans furniture, lighting, and hardware. Each piece a study in material exploration and the tension between tradition and modernity.
