What is Studio Haustura?

Maïder Hastoy is a French Basque designer/researcher, graduate from 
the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. 
Her work focuses mainly on interdisciplinary studies and social justice, 
keeping at heart challenging ethics and responsibilities of design and
art practitioners. While being largely influenced by architectural aesthetics, 
visual experimentations and mixed mediums stay at the heart of her practice.

Studio Haustura is a practice-based studio founded in 2025 by French-Basque designer and researcher Maïder Hastoy.

From the Basque haustura, meaning fracture, the studio aims to develop in two distinct paths. While wanting to engage in commercial design, the studio emphasises keeping a strong bond to conceptual design research and strengthening its reflections and position toward socio-architectural norms, forensic and speculative design, and geo-political design issues.

The studio engages in following a rigorous ethical framework with its clients and the public, by being fully transparent with who our collaborators are and who our sponsors are. We firmly ensure to engage in projects not contradicting our human values, such as anti-racism, anti- fascism, queerphobia, and pro-Palestinian stand.
