Twelve Objects was founded by Yasmine Shoeibi and Anthony Morey as a platform for discovery, dialogue, and meaningful collecting. Together, they bring a shared understanding of design as both a cultural expression and a deeply personal experience. Their vision moves beyond traditional categories, bringing together art, design, architecture, craft, and objects that exist between disciplines, guided by curiosity, instinct, and a close awareness of the movements shaping contemporary design. The result is a living curatorial platform shaped by two distinct but complementary points of view.
Two distinct points of view, one considered platform.
Yasmine Shoeibi is a global designer, curator, tastemaker, and creative entrepreneur with a distinctive ability to discover and source objects of character. Educated in Florence and shaped by a life lived across Iran, the United States, and multiple international cities, she brings a layered and deeply personal worldview to Twelve Objects. Her perspective has been informed by travel, cultural exchange, craftsmanship, fashion, architecture, and the emotional relationship between objects and the spaces they inhabit, allowing her to identify pieces that feel timely while remaining original and enduring. With a strong awareness of global design movements and emerging creative voices, she has the ability to recognize what is relevant before it becomes familiar, bringing together makers, materials, and ideas from different cultures and perspectives.
Discovery, guided by instinct.
Anthony Morey is a curator, cultural strategist, and creative leader whose work spans art, architecture, design, and contemporary culture, creating exhibitions, installations, institutional programs, gallery presentations, and experimental pop-ups. His curatorial practice has moved between internationally recognized institutions and independent cultural spaces, ranging from the Centre Pompidou in Paris to museums and galleries across Los Angeles, and has extended into digital cultural engagement through platforms such as Google Arts & Culture. His academic and teaching history has connected him with Harvard, MIT, SCI-Arc, UCLA, USC, and Claremont, shaping an approach rooted in research, critical inquiry, and storytelling. Anthony considers each object not only for its visual or functional qualities, but for its ability to communicate something meaningful about its maker, its time, and the world around it.
Every project begins with an understanding of the space, the people who will experience it, and the story it has the potential to tell. Rather than simply placing objects, we create relationships between work and setting, thoughtfully considering context, character, history, and the life each piece will take on over time.
Design as cultural expression.
