Daast

daast is a multidisciplinary design studio of Andrew Southwood-Jones and Alexander Kashin A design house of bespoke solutions, projects and experimentation, daast is the combined design thinking of Andrew Southwood-Jones and Alexander Kashin. Winners of the SOYA Qantas program, the designers met while studying architecture at UTS. Recognising a shared fascination for putting unusual materials to innovative use, they soon started working on design outcomes together. “Defining the emergent design acumen of daast is a smoothly elegant object aesthetic of tonal nuance, textural finesse and very clever thinking. “ Gillian Serisier, Co-Editor (Inside)
