Collaborators
Our Team

Valentine Stachowski
Principal
Valentine Stachowski leads with instinct, discipline, and a deep respect for material. He believes good work speaks in weight, detail, and restraint—and that beauty comes from the tension between control and chaos. Every piece begins as a question and ends as a statement. He doesn’t aim to please everyone—just to make something undeniable.

Antonio Sagaral
Project Engineer
Antonio leverages his background spanning Engineering, Design, Fabrication and Project Management to bring our clients concepts and ideas to life. His experience allows him to anticipate potential challenges and create effective and desirable solutions tailored to each project's unique demands.

Haley Sanders
Lead Design and Client Relations Officer
Haley uses her background in design and a genuine passion for bridging the gap between design and client. She is dedicated to understanding your vision, translating it into thoughtful, innovative design, and making sure you feel supported and excited every step of the way.

Justin Anderson
Fabricator
Justin draws on his background in welding and construction to deliver precise, durable, and cleanly finished work. With a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to craftsmanship, he ensures each project meets high standards of both function and form.
At Lust, we believe that true craftsmanship is an act of devotion—fractionally focused, guided by instinct, and grounded in discipline.
Our work isn’t just about form or function, but about creating objects with presence—pieces that hold weight, demand attention, and earn their place in a space. We draw from a deep well of traditional artisanship while embracing the precision of modern fabrication, allowing us to push boundaries without losing soul.
Every material is chosen with intention, every joint and surface refined until it feels inevitable. We don’t chase trends; we pursue integrity—of process, of proportion, of purpose. This is work that resists disposability, built to endure and invite contemplation.
At its best, it’s not just design—it is object permanence.
