A culmination of curiosity, humor, collaborative projects and sensory experiences.

Duende is an exploration of past and present, created by Elise Joseph. In pursuit of slowing down, engaging the senses ( ideally away from the distraction of a screen ) and thinking with intention.

With a focus on ritual and connection, Duende looks for ways to surprise and delight our everyday experience. It’s built around the belief that the objects surrounding us are not simply functional or beautiful, but preserve and hold memory, shape identity and embody a soul and presence all their own.
