Stanley Ruiz is a Brooklyn, NY based product designer and media artist with an extensive background in craft design and production. In his works, he fuses the industrial with the natural to bring about new meaning and interpretation to familiar object archetypes. His work espouses an unusual material aesthetic and a raw feel derived from a deep interest and devotion to traditional handicrafts. He has exhibited in Talents at Ambiente–Frankfurt, MACEF in Milan, A+ at Accent on Design-NY Gift Fair, University of Art & Design Helsinki, ICFF, Designboom Mart, Dwell on Design, and Maison & Objet in Paris, where he received the Coup De Coeur award in 2008
