Housed in a historic Brooklyn brownstone, speaklow is part personal museum, part flea market. The curated space brings together found art, antique objects, and contemporary design collected by interior stylist Michael Brown and art director Duy Pham from around the world.

The visual identity centers on a monogram of interlocking characters. Drawing inspiration from Bauhaus geometric precision and traditional East Asian signature seals, the mark balances modernist rigor with timeless elegance. In collaboration with graphic designer Sumire Kobayashi, the identity includes business cards and annual zodiac greeting cards.

The spatial curation embodies a deeply personal approach: creating atmospheres and evoking memories through intuitive gathering and unexpected juxtapositions. Each object tells a story, building a personal archive of taste and sensibility. Speaklow has been featured in T: The New York Times Style Magazine and other interior design publications.
