about

third state is a studio focused on moments that sit between what comes before and what comes next.

Everything began with a simple question: what happens if nothing is being optimized?

We design small objects meant to be used without urgency.
They are not tools for productivity or improvement.
They do not ask for consistency or progress.

Made to be handled.
Used briefly.
Returned when finished.

The studio works quietly and releases infrequently.
There is no schedule to follow.

Some objects will be practical.
Others will simply exist.

All are made to occupy the space between moments.
