Design Glut

"Design Glut began in early 2007, when designers Kegan Fisher and Liz Kinnmark decided to join forces. The pair began working together in their senior year at Pratt Institute, where they both studied industrial design. Since then, the young studio has piqued the interest of many bloggers, editors, and buyers with their fresh take on product design. In early 2008 Design Glut expanded into a new office and studio space. Stay tuned for new product launches! We believe that we are living in a design glut. There is an excess of designed products on the market, which consumers send to the landfill at an alarming rate. As product designers, the big question is how do we justify making more stuff? Our answer is to design things that are better, more intelligent, and make people happier than what already exists. We believe in quality materials and timeless beauty. Conceptually, we see product design as a medium to convey messages. Big-spending advertisers tell us all the time how their brands convey wealth, status, or give the owner membership in a group. We want to replace those with our own message: think for yourself, consume intelligently rather than mindlessly, buck the trends."
