 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

We are Rhode Island-based designers working at the intersection of industrial craft, sculptural form, and social practice. Our work integrates material intelligence with fabrication to produce objects and environments that are both functional and expressive. Both our creative and freelance operations revolve around precision metal working that starts on the beds of mills, lathes, or the welding table and often expands into casting, kinetic robotics and static sculpture. Our goal is to generate objects that open up previously unseen worlds for consumers, clients, and public audiences, distilling a sense of understanding from an increasingly complex world.
