Objects Are By is a new design brand and studio that reimagines the creative process through its approach, collaborators and materials. Founded by Milan-based international life and business partners, Phil America and Jenny D. Pham, it functions as a platform for championing creative freedom. It introduces an unconventional approach to creativity as it challenges chosen collaborators and brands to explore uncharted disciplines, conceiving objects for the homes and lifestyles of global citizens–a term they identify with referring to the growing international creative community. Every collection, conceived by a distinct creative, is infused with inspiration drawn from a place they hold dear. Each object serves as a reflection on the elements that contribute to the feeling of home in present and future moments, acknowledging the impermanence and adaptability inherent in the lives of said global individuals. Objects Are By’s future-conscious approach is embodied in their actions which aim to preserve, actively shape, and welcome the future.

Objects Are By was born as a platform with a distinct purpose: to break creative boundaries. Phil America and Jenny D. Pham are both creatives with non-design backgrounds, and celebrate their design-naivety as a strength of Objects Are By. They see the unknown as their muse and an opportunity for innovation. They both contribute to the brand and studio’s experience with complementary approaches: Phil, an artist and creative director, emphasises hands-on engagement and material examination; Jenny, a brand builder consulting in fashion and former luxury marketing executive, crafts holistic narratives through campaigns and talent collaborations. Their network comprises skilled individuals—writers, photographers, architects, fashion designers, brands and more—with a shared trait: an unwavering drive for creation. However, conventional approaches often confine them to their single medium, hindering exploration beyond boundaries. Objects Are By’s essence lies in breaking free from traditional expertise and limitation, finding excitement in continuous learning and defiance of predefined categories. “We reject the pretence of having all the answers, fostering an environment centred on honesty and the desire to learn as we navigate the journey, uniting diverse perspectives through the universal language of form” declares Jenny.

Founded in Milan, by life and business partners American-born Phil America and German-born Jenny D. Pham, it operates as a platform, collaborating with brands and creatives across disciplines to venture beyond their comfort zones, expressing themselves through homeware. Objects Are By’s future-conscious philosophy is embodied in their actions, which aim to preserve, actively shape, and embrace the future, while they continuously seek innovative, ethical, and lower-impact production methods, materials, and tools.
