why design?

I love nding the hidden beauty in simple objects we use everyday.

I love the possibilities of mass production, but I also love the emotion within a

carefully hand-crafted object.

I love nding new methods for old traditions.

I believe in design that makes people smile.

target userThe modern, urban apartment dweller doesnt have a

lot of extra room, and with the rising cost of housing,

there isnt much extra money to throw around either.

Despite the tight living situation, however, he still needs

a place to get work done, as well as a place to kick back

and relax with friends.

While many task lampsexist for ef cientworking, and many mood lampsexist to give

a soft glow, no product has ef ciently broughtthese functions together.

When you live in a small apartment, there is no

room for extra furniture.
