The Secret Language of Everyday Objects
Welcome to Artist Unknown, a nomadic project with a vision to inspire the acquisition of lifelong treasures. We celebrate individuality and support conscious, sustainable consumption. Our collections showcase exceptional artistry, craftsmanship, and design, featuring timeless, rare pieces sourced with care from markets and hidden locales around the world.
At Artist Unknown, our curated selections are a labour of love and inspiration from art books and travels. Each collection tells a cohesive story, featuring unique objects from diverse eras, destinations, cultures, and materials. Every piece is chosen for its distinctive quality, effortlessly blending the present with the past. These items create carefully assembled conceptual entities, whose backstories are equally significant to the objects themselves.
Extraordinary Items Carefully Sourced Around the Globe
Discovery is at the heart of what we do. We are passionate about the thrill of the hunt, encouraging exploration, and celebrating exceptional, timeless design. We believe that new acquisitions should be deliberate and lasting. Pre-loved objects create new scenarios, carry new meanings, and invite new memories as they accompany their owners on new journeys. We offer a new way of perceiving objects and their history fuelled by the spark we feel whenever we have a rare collectable at our fingertips. Our dedication lies in reviving, rediscovering, and repurposing, ensuring each piece brings a unique and enduring touch to everyday life.
Each collection is the result of meticulous research across time and space and is accompanied by a fascinating edition featuring the stories behind the objects, an inspirational editorial, and exciting information that reveals hidden narratives and establishes new connections beyond functionality. We encourage you to view the objects in our collections, however big or small, as objets d'art; distinctively beautiful in their uniqueness and variety, carefully selected and intentionally curated to tell an intriguing story.
