The Obsidian Virtual Concept House embraces possibility. Here we showcase an enlightened way of being and dwelling, designed on our own terms, as a virtual experience for Black families. In this future, home is our sanctuary where family and work life are intertwined and rest, safety, nourishment, spiritually and joy are central to our vision. Some areas will remain recognizable, while others will have been completely reimagined.

Watch: Creators in Conversation

On December 11, 2020, Obsidian Virtual House brought together celebrity Chef Carla Hall, culinary historian Dr. Jessica B. Harris, and Obsidian kitchen designer Kelly Finley, for another Creators in Conversation to discuss the kitchen as the heart of the Black home, and shared how to preserve family identity through recipes and images.

To view the conversation, sign up below.


The Obsidian Creators

 

These BADG members have conceived of this Black family dwelling, drawing from their perspective, expertise, and data-driven research. Obsidian’s objectives and goals resonate on both a design and self exploratory level. We felt the need to participate in order to challenge ourselves to explore deeper into who we are and how our ancestry, ethnicity, and history influences how we think, create, and live.
