A California design studio creating sculptural furniture, lighting design, textiles, and functional objects with an emphasis on craftsmanship, materiality, and everyday ritual.

Deia Design by C. Rose

Designer ✸ Product Developer ✸ Woodworker

Every design concept is a love letter to all the small details and found objects that some people miss or overlook entirely.

I explore how materials and forms can create an atmosphere that feels warm, familiar, and make space for intention, presence, or a daily ritual that can be deeply personal or just simply fill your cup.

I draw inspiration from the warmth, sincerity, sensibility, and material honesty of mid-century modernism and California folk craft.

deia design principles

Material Honesty

Natural materials, adorned and finished in a way that allow it take on new life and purpose, while also honoring the features of its raw natural form.

Sculptural Function

Visually compelling designs that also take a thoughtful approach to establishing its purpose and placement in the day-to-day and within acts of ritual and self-care.

Warm Modernism

Clean lines coexist with softness, structure alongside organic forms, and architectural proportion that makes space for handmade texture and human touch.

Sensibility

Through softened edges, material improvisation, and handmade details, humble design concepts cultivate a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

Emotional Utility

Functional objects and furniture designs that consider all the senses and can create an atmosphere, set the tone, or stir a sense of nostalgia.

Curiosity

Unexpected color combinations, unusual proportions, tactile details, scalloped forms, embedded found objects, worn natural materials, all in pursuit to keep wonder alive.
