A tandem blended in diverse irony; One having the ability to
incorporate beauty in anything using playful orchestration of colors, and the
other having a constant itch to produce eccentric and edgy creations with the
aim to draw reactions. Both sharing a strong desire to turn their inspired
visions into tangible crafts.
Being together since 2004, Elle Uy and Yuseff Aguell has
become familiar with each other’s creative style. As a couple they inevitably
increased their skill to compromise opposing options, and through collaboration
in numerous endeavors they developed a systematic work bond. This enables them
to complement each other’s strong points while holding on to the root-concept
of their individual ideas.
Unique is the word that best describes Yuseff, in both his personality and his craft. I've never met anyone more stubborn than him, and I've never met anyone more creatively inventive as he is. And combining those traits enables him to realize his visions. Nothing can stop him when he has a concept in mind (And I mean NOTHING) I found out that as a kid, his past time was creating stuff out of random scrap materials. Popsicle sticks were made into a model house, not as a school project, but just because he wanted to. He even dismantled perfectly working toys just to feed his curiosity on how it works. He hasn't changed one bit. But instead of popsicle sticks, he's now playing with metal and planks. And instead of dismantling toys, he's dismantling old furniture. His imagination is so out there that I feel so lucky to have him as my partner here in DuoDeco Studio, and in life. :) -Elle
Skill and talent are two different things. A skill is
something that can be taught, learned, and improved. Talent is born into
someone; it’s a natural ability to do something. And that is what Elle has. She
has a high level of talent for design, and an innate ability to make things
beautiful. Being that, and having an upbeat personality, she effortlessly
creates and design blissful and warm décor pieces. If I was the only one
creating the pieces for DuoDeco, it would be like a cup of brewed
coffee; Dark, strong, and it might even come across as bitter for some. Elle is
like a lump of sugar; she provides just the right amount of sweetness. All she can do and all that she is, is beyond a few words, but a sure thing is that her happy dusts will rub off on anything she does. -Yuseff
