TINATIN EGIASHVILI

BIO

Tinatin Egiashvili
Industrial & Furniture Designer

From Tbilisi, Georgia
Based in New York

My multidisciplinary design practice bridges contemporary design, material exploration, and environmental responsibility. What draws me most to design is its physicality, the tactile process of making and the relationships people form with objects and spaces.

Becoming a mother has further enriched my perspective, reshaping how I balance my identity and creativity while continuing to explore design as a space for dialogue between life, materials, and the objects we shape.

5. Traces of a Sketchbook

Color, Fragments and Forms
2025

Working in my sketchbook has been a quiet, meditative time for me- a way to relax my mind while exploring abstract colors, patterns, and compositions. I experimented with creating gradients and collages using hole-punched pieces.

11. Hand Held Object

Exploring the balance of weight
& tactile experience
2025

Handheld object is designed to be inviting and comfortable to hold. Its weight naturally follows gravity, allowing it to rest in your hand while providing a satisfying sense of heaviness. The handle is ergonomically crafted to ensure a secure holding, preventing the object from slipping and keeping it attached to your wrist with stability.

12. Visual Notes

Georgian Feast
Freehand sketching as exploration
2024

Exploring through freehand sketching, I focused on the concept of the supra - Georgian: სუფრა [sup’ra] - a traditional Georgian feast that plays a central role in the country's social culture.
