Our Lives in Frame

Partners in business and life alike, Ivy Siosi and Audim Culver (M.F.A. '12, Studio Art) are the co-owners of Siosi Design, a boutique furniture company based in Indiana. Their designs are elegant. Clean, clear lines. Their work blends minimalism with an undisguised grace, and their marketing — by way of Audim’s photography — reflects this aesthetic.
