BIO

Tinatin Egiashvili
Furniture & Industrial Designer

From Tbilisi, Georgia
Based in New York

My multidisciplinary design practice moves between furniture design, material exploration, and spatial design. I am drawn to the physicality of design: the tactile experience of making, the qualities of materials, and the relationships people develop with the objects and spaces around them.

Becoming a mother has further shaped my perspective, bringing new dimensions to how I understand identity, creativity, and everyday life. It has deepened my interest in design as a space for dialogue between people, materials, and the objects we create, and in how these relationships shape the way we live, connect, and experience our surroundings.

1. Furniture as a Dialogue
Between Children, Adults
and The Spaces
They Share

What would furniture look like if it were designed for shared use rather than parallel comfort in the living room?
*Ongoing Project

This project explores furniture as a mediator between children and adults in the home. Rather than designing separate objects and spaces for each, it considers how furniture can bring family members together through shared, tactile experiences without compromising the interior itself. The project responds to the physical and social boundaries that can emerge when children’s activities, furniture, and spaces are separated from those of adults.

2. ორეოლი ✦ Halation

Instrallation at
Milan Design Week, Alcova
Project with Madam Bozarjiants
2023

Showcased an installation that explores the natural light falling from the skylight of a historical building owned by Bozarjiants family. The house was built in the early 20th century in the Art Nouveau style. However, during the Soviet repression, it was taken away from the owners and transformed into a communal living space.

3. Museum Merch

Souvenir Proposal for
Museum of the City of New York’s Shop
2025

This project reinterprets New York City’s urban icons and the landscape through a candle holder paired with a handmade candle. Each piece is crafted from slate. The candle holder functions as a pin, marking the location of the museum.

4. Notes on the Products

Upcycled “Jorko”
Sustainable
2023

Crafted in Georgia, our products are born from domestically sourced oak wood. I prioritize an environmentally conscious approach, sourcing wood exclusively from sustainable origins. My commitment extends to utilizing timber from trees naturally fallen in local forests, and from demolished traditional Georgian wooden houses. This dedication ensures not just quality but a profound respect for the environment, reflecting our ethos of responsible material use and preservation.
