"From fantastic Renaissance beasts to 1970s circus acrobats, designer Adam Charlap Hyman finds inspiration in the weird and whimsical. 'I am always looking for something uncanny, slightly off, and almost magically compelling,' says designer, architect and artist Adam Charlap Hyman.

'The things that inspire me all touch on the links between joy and generosity, beauty and humility, humor and craft,” he explains. “It seems you can’t have one without the other.'"
