Sean Tran | By Hand
Sean Tran is the founder of his eponymous design studio in Sydney. He is a former architect who over a decade migrated away from buildings toward designing and making garments. The studio has become successful, with its third showing in Paris and distribution of its 11 collections internationally. All items are painstakingly handmade by a small team in the Sydney studio. The evidence of Sean’s architectural leanings are everywhere in his work, from the meticulous drawings to the exploratory and dialectical relationship with materials, and an obsession with craft and detailing. Sean is also an interesting example of creative people in architecture taking their trajectories into their own hands, as well as a timely reminder of the rich contribution that immigrant families make to the life of the city.
