OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our work is informed by an interest in the fields of sustainable material innovation, packaging manufacturing, origami, climate science, 1970’s hippie modernism, and the unique opportunities of modern industry to work towards decarbonization. In our studio we pursue hands-on work with cardboard, paper pulp, plastic, algae, mushroom foams, agricultural waste, wood, metal, soy inks, and anything else our clients throw at us.
And so, here we are… a peculiar but useful design studio acting as a conduit between industry and mother earth herself.
