BIO

Tinatin Egiashvili
Furniture & Industrial Designer

From Tbilisi, Georgia
Based in New York

My multidisciplinary design practice moves between furniture design, material exploration, and spatial design. I am drawn to the physicality of design: the tactile experience of making, the qualities of materials, and the relationships people develop with the objects and spaces around them.

Becoming a mother has further shaped my perspective, bringing new dimensions to how I understand identity, creativity, and everyday life. It has deepened my interest in design as a space for dialogue between people, materials, and the objects we create, and in how these relationships shape the way we live, connect, and experience our surroundings.

1. Traces of a Sketchbook

Color, Fragments and Forms
2025

Working in my sketchbook has been a quiet, meditative time for me- a way to relax my mind while exploring abstract colors, patterns, and compositions. I experimented with creating gradients and collages using hole-punched pieces.

2. Essay for Zine Magazine

Doing It All Differently:
A Personal Reflection on Motherhood and Design
2025

3. “Vakhtanguri”

“Vakhtanguri” at
Chiesa SantAmbrogio della Vittoria
Project with DesignBureau
2024

An exhibition was the creative collaboration between Nonahora and BeAlpha, we proudly present a remarkable showcase at Chiesa SantAmbrogio della Vittoria, where the central theme of antithesis serves as our guiding motif.

4. Hand Held Object

Exploring the balance of weight
& tactile experience
2025

Handheld object is designed to be inviting and comfortable to hold. Its weight naturally follows gravity, allowing it to rest in your hand while providing a satisfying sense of heaviness. The handle is ergonomically crafted to ensure a secure holding, preventing the object from slipping and keeping it attached to your wrist with stability.

5. Visual Notes

Georgian Feast
Freehand sketching as exploration
2024

Exploring through freehand sketching, I focused on the concept of the supra - Georgian: სუფრა [sup’ra] - a traditional Georgian feast that plays a central role in the country's social culture.
