SYSTEM I

Studio Telos is a Paris-based furniture design studio founded in 2025 by architect Caroline Keslassy and designer Kym Ellery. Bringing together architectural rigour and a refined design sensibility, the studio creates furniture defined by clarity of form and enduring aesthetics. Rooted in the concept of telos, the Greek notion of purpose or ultimate aim—their work approaches design as an expression of intention. Each piece is guided by function, shaped through considered proportions, and realised in timeless materials, resulting in objects that quietly structure and elevate the spaces they inhabit. Bureau of Innovation collaborator and Rick Owens muse Tyrone Dylan, in collaboration with Studio Telos, unveiled System I, their inaugural sofa design, as part of MUSE, our curation for PAD Paris. Developed in response to a specific presence, the work positions the muse not simply as a source of inspiration, but as a defining force in its final form.
