Rafael Freyre is a Peruvian architect, artist, and designer whose multidisciplinary practice explores the convergence of architecture, art, and spatial storytelling. Educated at Ricardo Palma University in Lima before completing a Master of Fine Arts through Plymouth University and the Piet Zwart Institute, his work is informed by research into migration, mobility, and the cultural narratives embedded within space. Today, he leads RF Studio, where architecture and art are developed as complementary forms of expression.

Drawing on experience spanning Europe, the United States, and Latin America—including collaborations with Massimo Fuksas and theater director Robert Wilson—his practice investigates the relationship between place, movement, and human experience, resulting in environments that merge artistic vision with architectural precision.

Guided by Wilcox’s multidisciplinary background in art, design, and curation, Lost Profile creates refined collections influenced by Art Deco elegance, industrial utility, and timeless craftsmanship. Through a thoughtful balance of sculptural form, tactile materials, and understated detailing, the studio develops pieces that celebrate heritage, material honesty, and the quiet poetry of everyday living.

Marea Hildebrand (b. 1989) is a Zurich-based ceramic artist whose practice explores the quiet dialogue between material, process, and form. Trained in Fine Arts and Transdisciplinary Studies at the Zurich University of the Arts, she creates hand-built ceramic vessels using the traditional coil technique, developing monumental works distinguished by richly layered surfaces achieved through multiple firings, painting, and rhythmic etching. Embracing the beauty of imperfection and transience, her work draws inspiration from Japanese and Korean aesthetics, Abstract Art, and the philosophy of wabi-sabi, creating contemplative pieces that evoke stillness, presence, and a deep connection to natural materials.
