We’ve designed wall shelving with natural materials and clever engineering, to give you clean lines and subtle functionality.

We combined minimal forms with precise measurements. Machined from a solid block of aluminum, each is an example of clean design made to last.

Back in the design studio after cruising all over Portland to look at workspaces, Ken and Sean worked to create a complete system for your desk.

It had been four years since we’d launched our original desk collection. It was time to take the next step and add to the collection.

A custom machined and hand finished stand to elevate your HomePod and protect your furniture. Born from a design sprint in our Portland, OR, studio, it protects naturally finished wood from the white ring left by the silicone on the HomePod base.

Our wallets are both on the minimal end of the spectrum… but functionally and philosophically, they’re very different.

The wall hook floats on your wall and gives you a clean resting place for everything from a backpack to a ballcap. They’re designed and built to look great even when there’s nothing on them.

From Korea and Ventura to RISD, and back to Venice Beach. A crafted life filled with design.

We start by machining the cork, creating a precise pocket for all the electronics and leaving a thin layer on top to allow the charge to transfer efficiently.

A wireless charging pad is always out on display, so we designed it to be clean and simple, to better complement your space and your phone.

Hustle and soul collide in Joseph, OR, at the Jennings Hotel—one of the many brainchildren of Greg Hennes.

The next step in our quest for clean lines and simple design, the all-metal minimalist knife is a radical take on the classic friction folder.

From Nashville to NYC, Portland to Kalispell, we go on a journey with digital music consultant Kirk Cornelius to find what matters.

We believe that design inspires your work, life, and play. We believe that when you surround yourself with people and objects that matter, it subtly yet powerfully inspires you to do better in all things.
