Sivan, who is twenty-nine, with short dyed-blond hair and saucer eyes, might come off as a club rat , but he’s really more of a homebody. Just before his shop opened, he took a final walk through the space, wearing loose cargo pants and a black sweater. “It really doesn’t feel that different from making music or a music video,” he said of designing housewares. Sivan lives in a mid-century-modern house in Melbourne, and he says that running it is a full-time job.
“Honestly, this is maybe one of my favorite things that we’ve made,” he said. Sivan recommends using the large version, eleven inches across, to hold produce or decorative groceries. “If you’re a person who doesn’t keep eggs in the fridge, it’s such a chic way to do it.” He pointed to a smaller bowl, a version of which he keeps on his own bedside table. He reached down and placed his wallet inside.
