Far-i-Rome Creative for io_assembly

io:O-H?! I-O& assembly: a process of making, a gathering for action.

The Why_

in io_assembly (designed by Far-i-Rome Creative), my design approach is full of fun observations from an immigrants perspective, flashes of home, playful, and a nod to Ohio where we are based. io_ is really a love letter to the cultures I’ve experienced and how those things weave into the funny reality of basically existing as a part of four very distinct generations. All-in-all these pieces are an attempt to create beautiful designs, on premium textiles that I hope spark a chuckle (or two) or an ah-ha for anyone that interacts with them.
