Arc & Sparo

A quiet place for form, material, and light

Arc & Sparo is a design studio exploring the relationship between form, material, and light.

Each piece begins as a study in process and material—how surfaces meet, how light moves across pattern, how touch completes a form.

The studio’s work moves fluidly between digital and physical methods: molds milled or printed, slip poured and refined by hand.

Every piece carries both stories at once—the geometry of its design and the texture of its making.

What we make

  • Light — Thin-walled, warm-diffusing lamps where pattern meets glow.
  • Objects — Cups, trays, tiles, and quiet desktop pieces with considered proportion.
  • Tools — Texture stamps and rollers for other makers.
  • Editions — Digital patterns and studio notes for those who love process.

The name

Arc is the essential gesture of geometry—the curve at the root of form.

Sparo is a minimalist play on sparrow—a small, rhythmic motion of life and craft.

The studio mark—drawn entirely with arcs—tessellates like a structure and reads like a bird in flight. A pattern that shapes light.

Studio philosophy

I work through form—not as a pursuit of style, but as a study of order and possibility.

Geometry is the quiet language beneath every curve and seam; it gives structure to intuition so discovery can be precise.

Texture is where intention and evidence meet. It has more than one life here:

  • Pattern — a deliberate geometry I compose: arcs, tessellations, and rhythms that guide the hand.
  • Process — the record the material leaves behind: how plaster settles, how air escapes, how the surface remembers touch.
  • Memory — what endures after making: the way clay yielded, the way light reads the surface now.

Material is the constant variable—resin, plaster, porcelain, wood—each asking for a different patience and a specific kind of care.

Light is not a finishing layer but a collaborator, defining edges, revealing texture, and giving quiet to a room.

How a piece comes to life

Design → Mold → Make → Finish → Release

  • Design: Proportion, wall thickness, and joinery are defined with clarity before anything is physical.
  • Mold: Precision tools—plaster and elastomeric—ensure clean seams and repeatable results.
  • Make: Slip-cast porcelain, carved wood, or machined texture; each process sets its own pace.
  • Finish: Edges softened, surfaces refined, hardware fitted with care.
  • Release: Photographed, measured, and signed; lead times stated plainly.

The maker

I’m Mubashir Choudhry, the designer and maker behind Arc & Sparo.

My work lives between structure and touch—where a curve drawn in CAD becomes a surface that remembers a hand.

I’m drawn to precision—geometry, order, proportion—and to what happens when those systems meet the irregularity of material.

Each piece begins as a question about how form, light, and material speak to one another.

Some become lamps, some become vessels or tools, and some remain notes in the process—but all are part of the same search.

Why small-batch

Working in small runs lets me stay present with every detail. It keeps quality high, communication honest, and the work human.

If something you love is out of stock, join my email list—new batches and reserve windows are announced there first.

Closing reflection

Arc & Sparo is not just a brand, but a practice—a slow exploration of design through process and material.

Every piece carries the same intent: to shape light quietly, to record touch honestly, and to let texture speak as clearly as form.

I hope something I make finds a long, quiet place in your everyday life.
