Daydreaming Objects is represented by a Copenhagen-based Lithuanian creative duo: lighting designer Ruta Palionyte and architect Ieva Baranauskaite. Combining diverse skills, the duo creates objects that go beyond mere function, telling stories and infusing everyday spaces with dreaminess. They approach a blend of unexpected materials, curiosity-driven research, and bold experimentation, pushing the boundaries of creativity in the design process. In 2024, the creative studio Daydreaming Objects is launching their new lighting series, Soft Solids. The Soft Solids explore the intentional use and repurposing of natural material—wax, reflecting on its potential for regeneration within design practice.
