Known Work Studio

Known Work Studio was founded in New York by Danu Kennedy and Jeremy Levitt, partners at Parts and Labor Design, the award-winning NYC-based firm. The studio began from a shared commitment: to make objects with material integrity and craft that reads in the hand, not just the eye.

Creative Director Alex Dilena joined Kennedy and Levitt at the outset, shaping Known Work's collaborative process from the beginning. The three work at close range with each piece, treating design as investigation rather than output.

The studio takes an anthropological stance toward every collection. Each object is examined in relation to its user, its material, and its making. Sketching, molding, carving, the work happens at the bench, not at a remove. Known Work's objects are artifacts: they carry evidence of how they were made and of the hands that made them.

The output is a body of collectible design furniture rooted in New York craft and built to endure. Known Work's pieces hold their integrity across contexts, at home in a loft in Tribeca or a gallery in Paris.
