Our Story

We are called to create.

For many brands. For many clients. For quite some time — 15 years to be exact.

After all of those years designing for others, in the midst of a global pandemic, we decided to stop dreaming. And to start making.

So, we packed up. We moved to Italy. We worked with small–batch production factories in Tuscany. Delicious, delicious Tuscany. But we digress.

All those dreams, all those hours dripping with sweat, flowing with tears and laughter culminated in Il Paio.

Or, in English: The Pair.

We’ve paired our lives, our dreams and now we pair well designed and curated essentials. Designer led. Designer sourced. Because, at heart, we’ll always be designers.

Now, we’ll never claim to be the best. Or the most talented. But what we will do is dig our heels in and push past boundaries of style and status. Discovering. Working. Harder than we did yesterday.

We don’t know any other way.

Il Paio is that passion. It’s love. Dreams, created.

And create is what we’re called to do.
