Unearthed Practice is a design studio based between Scranton, PA and Princeton, NJ, led by cofounders Christopher Loofs and Jordan Loofs. We’re interested in the everyday things people tend to overlook—the small, ordinary pieces of life that quietly shape how we live. Through our designs, we bring those elements back into focus and help people see their surrounding environments in new ways.
Our work spans structures, furniture, objects, artworks, exhibitions, images, and writing. We enjoy projects that blur boundaries and invite curiosity.
We’re always open to new ideas, new collaborators, and new directions.
If you’re wondering what we might create together, just ask… “What’s UP?”
