Konekt是由Helena Sultan和Natasha Sultan母女倆組成的設計工作室，最近他們將其在紐約的新展廳的牆壁塗成深藍色，為其雕塑般的燈光和家具設計提供了大膽的背景。Konekt由Helena Sultan經營，她曾是一名攝影師和紀錄片導演，2015年在費城創辦了這家工作室。她最近請她的女兒娜塔莎和她一起經營生意。
Mother-and-daughter design studio Konekt has coloured the walls of its new showroom in New York City dark blue to provide a bold backdrop to its sculptural lighting and furniture designs.Konekt is run by Helena Sultan, a former photographer and documentary filmmaker, who established the studio in Philadelphia in 2015. She has recently brought on her daughter Natasha to run the business with her.
兩人在紐約唐人街開設了展廳，其設計類似於開放式工作室公寓。該空間擁有深藍色的牆壁和風化的木地板，喚起了與展出的手工製品相關的一種古老的感覺。Konekt重新設計了室內空間，包括繪畫和安裝Natasha的祖母（藝術家）的金色壁掛玻璃壁畫。這個空間裏的所有藝術作品都是她的作品。
The two have opened the showroom in New York’s Chinatown, designed to resemble an open-plan studio apartment. The space features deep blue walls and weathered wooden floors that evoke a time-worn feel relating to the handcrafted pieces on display.Konekt redesigned the interior space, including painting and installing a golden wall glass mural by Natasha’s grandmother, who is an artist. All the art pieces in the space are by her as well.
Amor燈標誌著Konekt首次涉足照明領域，並配有配套的床頭櫃，底座也有類似的網眼袖。
The Amor light marks Konekt’s first foray into lighting and is accompanied by matching side tables with similar mesh sleeves at their bases.
展出的另一件作品是一個球形餐桌，它汲取來自大西洋的滾石的柔和曲線。桌子由賓夕法尼亞州製造的木質頂部和凸起的青銅底座組成。每個都有不同的標記和輪廓。
Another piece on display is a bulbous dining table, which draws on the soft curves of tumbled stones from the Atlantic Ocean. The table comprises a wood top and a convex bronze base, made in Pennsylvania. Each one is detailed with different markings and contours.
Helena說：“很多靈感來自大自然，貝殼和石頭的形狀，以及它們的雕塑形式。”“沒有統一性，”她繼續道。
“A lot of inspiration comes from nature,” said Helena. “The shape from shells and stones, and their sculptural forms.””There is no uniformity,” she continued.
展出的其他作品有更多的動物特征。例如，Bianca木質餐椅就有引人注目的彎曲木腿，它們與座椅呈一定角度延伸。“腿的靈感來自駱駝的腿，有著雕塑般的後腿。”Helena說。
Other pieces on display have more animalistic traits. The wood Bianca dining chairs, for example, have dramatically curved wood legs that extend at angles away from the seat. “The legs are inspired by the legs of camels, with sculptural hind legs,” Helena said.
Konekt的許多作品需要精細的工藝，幾乎所有都是手工製作。Konekt將他們對藝術，自然和古董家具的欣賞歸功於Helena的媽媽。
Many of Konekt’s pieces necessitate meticulous craftsmanship, and almost all are hand-crafted. Konekt credit their appreciation of art, nature and antique furniture to Helena’s mum.
設計還使用了多種金屬，如油擦青銅，拋光黃銅和古董鎳，以及定製的毛絨麵料。
Designs employ a variety of metal as well, such as oil rubbed bronze, polished brass and antique nickel. A number of plush fabrics can also be customised.
