Miyuca Design Studio

Miyuca Design Studio is an Italian multidisciplinary studio based in Bressanone, in South Tyrol, offering customised graphic and product design for clients and producing its own creations entirely by hand. It is led by designer Jasmin Castagnaro, whose name signs the studio’s work and its image credits.

The studio’s signature material is Laab, the South Tyrolean word for leaves: every autumn fallen leaves are collected and sorted by colour and type, mixed with biological resins and shaped in reusable wooden moulds into lights, panels and accessories whose unique textures let light shine through. No tree is harmed and only as many leaves are collected as production requires, an approach Miyuca describes as slow design and an alternative to conventional plastic products; a Salt Edition extends the family of pieces.
