2023 studioTECHNE Gift Guide
The first annual studioTECHNE 2023 Architect Gift Guide is here! Architects are famously hard to buy for and known for their love of extravagant and impractical things. Who needs functionality when you can have a paperweight shaped like a cantilevered skyscraper or a coffee mug that leaks but looks like SCREENPLAY by the Oyler Wu Collaborative? We've scoured the internet to bring you the most pretentious, overpriced, and utterly unnecessary gifts that will leave your architect friends questioning your taste and their life choices. So, grab your chunky black spectacles and beret, because it's about to get architecturally absurd in here!
