At M2C Studio, every object begins with a journey. Founded in 2017 by the husband and wife duo of Stuart Gans and the designer Leyla Gans.

M2C, short for Mountains 2 Coast, was born from Leyla's vision to craft objects that are artful and playful, beautiful and purposeful. Each piece textural and intriguing, shaped with an elegant sense of fluidity and rhythm. Her practice is guided by a deep curiosity for materiality, form and exploration. Rooted in travel, observation and study where each journey becomes a source of inspiration.

With a wondrous spirit, she weaves ideas into form, while her creative energy dances seamlessly with the engineering mind of Stuart. Together, they transform her sketches into objects that carry the wonder of travel, the precision of craft, and the beauty of functional design.

Every piece is handcrafted in High Point, NC.
