Design the Change

Live the change. Be the change.

“I would love the legacy of this company to be not only the beautiful products we made but the way we thought about the world and tried to make it a better place.”

Creating Timeless Style

We’ve always created products that are meant
to be handed down from generation to generation.
Now, we are committing to making those products from
more sustainable materials and methods and committing
to circular design and business models.
