Studio Kloak is a zero-waste design studio reimagining the boundaries of material, function, and form. Through an intensive, practice-based process, the studio explores new material futures—transforming biomaterials, recycled components, and salvaged architectural remnants into collectible works of design. Each object is a statement on imperfection and utility, recasting sculpture through a utilitarian lens and fostering a renewed appreciation for the hand-made.
Founded by acclaimed designer and educator Coco Ree Lemery, the studio operates at the intersection of design, sustainability, and pedagogy
