Website

The Brooklyn Salsa Company

The Brooklyn Salsa Company was looking for an e-commerce website that went above and beyond the competition, and we delivered. Complete with a web store, blog, and total social-media connectivity, we designed and built the platform to drive their community growth.

Dolls

Joby

We were brought in to repurpose Joby’s products for their pop-up shop and gallery in San Francisco. After playing with the tripods for a while, we were inspired to designed toy parts that interlock with their modular, bendable structure.

We looked to find a new place where something that size, shape, and material would be completely functional. A brass doorknob, when turned vertical, is really quite similar in form to an old-fashioned candlestick.

While the end result is cuddly and adorable, Egg Pants were actually the result of a semester-long study into the technical manufacturing [...]

Design Glut’s process: the Candlestrip

In 2009 we were invited to participate in a design show called InDisposed, which was about exploring the intersection between disposability and sustainability. Can a product be both disposable and sustainable, or are those two things mutually exclusive? Since the show was focused on sustainability, we wanted to explore a theme we’d touched on our past [...]
