Maggie Pei's studio practice serves as a world-building experience, where the array of furniture aims to transcend object and become subject, capturing the forgotten sensations of a moment on the threshold where the past converges with the present and where the lucid coexists with the hidden.

Maggie Pei is the founder of the New York-based M.Pei Studio.

Trained as a furniture designer and maker at RISD, she also has a background in furniture conservation. Her practice is rooted in a deep appreciation for objects, their narratives, histories, and the manner in which they come alive.
