Daphlande (b. 2005) is a multidisciplinary artist and designer working across objects, fashion, textiles, interiors, and immersive experiences.

Based in Alaska, her practice is rooted in the body — in the tactile, auditory, visual, and atmospheric cues that shape how we experience space. With early training in the sciences, she approaches design with analytical clarity, merging material research with intuitive worldbuilding.

Her studio practice is shaped by something she kept witnessing: a growing disconnection from the present — from physical space, from material intimacy, from the quiet depth of lived experience. Her work exists to close that distance. Through objects, environments, and sensory experiences grounded in material, presence, and perception, the studio creates conditions for people to return to themselves and to the spaces they inhabit.

Working across fiber, clay, light, and spatial composition, she creates environments and objects meant to be inhabited, not observed. Her practice spans handmade objects, interior and spatial direction, sensory design, and experiential events, all guided by a central belief: what cannot be felt, cannot be understood.

Behind the scenes, she is building KÒTRAAS — a house for atmosphere, memory, and lived experience. Inspired by the traces that spaces, objects, gatherings, and moments leave behind, KÒTRAAS explores the relationship between body, place, and perception. Through publication, design, objects, and environment-making, the house seeks to create experiences that deepen our connection to the physical world and the beauty of everyday life.
