The Maison SRA SRA has many rooms.
And it is the rooms standing alone that together create the house.
SR_A_HUBLOT.
A coalescence of natural formalism and traditional industrial practice, Dr Samuel Ross’ first piece of watch design takes the form of the Big Bang Tourbillon SR_A SR_A.
SR_A_NIKE.
SR_A builds with Nike’s ISPA team to produce and hand painted series of ISPA Universal (a Bio-foam slip on shoe inspired by organic forms and sharp utility).
SR_A_CAKE.
A straight line, open to a thousand accessories. Bespoke, individual, subjective, a made-to-order frame that elevates and grounds, a street legal bike reduced into elegant simplicity and imbued with the complication of deep consideration.

A way of seeing, a way of being, a way of integrating and imbuing. A way of creating.
A way to explore, and through exploration, indulge, innovate, improve.
A way to bring joy and allow joy, decadence and life to be part of modernity.
A way to impact.
A way to change.
A sound, a note, a wave, made physical. Organic forms swirl across organic matter, organic forms engulf inorganic technology, a fusion of pragmatism and aesthetics. The Power Beats Pro Earbuds, from Beats by Dre, infused with SRA SRA ideology. An ideology that understands music is not atemporal, aspatial but palpable.
The tactility of sound, embraced, through colour theory, through open, deconstructed manufacturing process, through individuality and perfect imperfection. A pair of headphones but also a zine, a record of creation, fabrication and conceptualisation.
A play of weight, of the relationship between light and heft, sleekness and heft. A collaboration, an elevation.
