Biography
LABINAC is a design collective founded in 2018 by Maria Thereza Alves, Jimmie Durham and Kai-Morten Vollmer, with the dual purpose of designing and making objects (furniture, chandeliers, and other elements of interior design) and supporting the design works of Indigenous peoples in Latin America, of which the artists have been staunch defenders throughout their lives.
 
By inviting Elisa Strinna, Jone Kvie and Victor Santamarina among others, Alves and Durham have enhanced the range of possibilities through their research and their works while also questioning the role of design today, the thin line between the arts, as well as the possibility of experimenting with various materials available.
