It may not be clear from the gnomes that greet visitors to their one-room office in Lower Manhattan, but Ivi Diamantopoulou and Jaffer Kolb are grappling with some consequential topics. Since they founded the practice New Affiliates in 2016, their portfolio has grown to encompass all facets of design, moving seamlessly from creating residential interiors and exhibitions to navigating bureaucracy and conceptualizing new forms of urbanism and material flows. (The gnomes, meanwhile, are an easel—among a handful of smallscale editions—abstracted from those kitschy American garden dwellers, and retailing for about $300.)
