Future Memories was born of Lenardin’s aspiration to create spaces that draw on a reservoir of memories. Because memory plays a critical role in the experiential quality and material life of a space, the studio’s design approach is never about erasing what went before or simply imposing a new “look,” but rather drawing out whatever is lasting and meaningful in an act of authentic placemaking—to honor and reinvigorate what is rooted in the past and to ensure that the work holds the promise of future memories.

Instant Days is premised on the nature of our shared consumer culture, in which experience, objects and content are consumed and conveyed in fleeting images with less and less claim to substance. Playing with the notion of ‘the day as a commodity’, Instant Days imagines life itself as an object to be designed, a work of art that assists, inspires, and enriches emotional being. For Lenardin, the creation of a compelling environment or experience is a matter of putting every aspect of a space or site or product—physical elements as well as experiential qualities—”on stage,” as object and as art.
