Founded by Vienna-born artist and designer Barbara Palatin-Doyle, Studio Palatin creates sculptural lighting and collectible objects that reinterpret the traditions of European decorative arts through a distinctly contemporary lens.
Drawing on a background in decorative painting and patination, Barbara also serves as a docent for the Decorative Arts Department at The The Metropolitan Museum of Art, bringing a deep knowledge of historical craft traditions to her practice. Living and working between Vienna and New York, she continues to build a body of work that bridges heritage and innovation, fine art and functional design.
