Roland Ellis and Dev Joshi’s excitement and ambition for the studio has been beautifully captured in an interview with Elina Boeva for Design Wanted.
Elina writes: “Founded by renowned designers Roland Ellis and Dev Joshi in 2020, contemporary design studio Relative Distance’s artwork entitled Phase is a timepiece whose waxing and waning is in complete unison with the moon and illuminates according to the moon’s progress in real-time. The captivating object allows us to feel all the emotions–just like Twombly–as we materially, aesthetically, and optically connect with the moon…
With its refined and intuitive design, Phase is a piece that uniquely sits inside every room.

In more ways than one, Phase heralds the beginning of a new chapter in their professional journeys that just might be the most exciting one yet.”
