Mythology is a design and craft studio led by Sam Pearson and Anna Kidel, operating at the intersection of utility and expression. Grounded in traditional craftsmanship and a deep respect for natural materials, the studio creates objects that combine bold, sculptural presence with refined simplicity, conceived to endure and to foster meaningful connection.
Founded in 2020 as a personal exploration, Mythology has since evolved into a dedicated collaborative practice. Sam and Anna work closely together, shaping each piece through ongoing dialogue, experimentation, and careful refinement. Their approach is defined by a considered balance—between texture and form, boldness and restraint, and expressive gesture and precise execution.
Natural materials lie at the core of the studio’s philosophy, chosen for their inherent character and sensory qualities. Whenever possible, materials are sourced locally, reinforcing a tangible relationship to place and process. Handcrafted methods remain central, with attention and intuition guiding every stage of making. Rather than pursuing flawless perfection, the studio embraces subtle variations and traces of the hand, allowing each object to retain its individuality. Designed to age gracefully, Mythology’s works are intended to become lasting companions within the spaces and lives they inhabit.
