Studio Niche Website

Studio Niche aims to propose alternative ways of using and shaping our environment by focusing on the importance of the “small”  which oftentimes is overlooked. We intend to focus on “minor”  problems that can have a major positive impact on soceity and nature when solved “creatively” and explore the transforming potential of the so-called insignificant.

Studio is formed by a group of designers and creative individuals who came together to think, design, say and do something about the aforementioned problems. It is based on two main paradigms: collectivity and interdisciplinary production. The idea is to explore the true potential of collective action across different disciplines devoid of all hierachical orders. The free and collective production of ideas to create the “better” is the main motivation and the spirit that drives studio NICHE and is seeken by it.
 
Scale: The interventions we are envisioning in the city scale are roughly in the scale of niche in a building.
 
Niche /niːʃ/ noun: 
a small recess in the wall.
