Overview

Atlason is an industrial design studio in NYC. As an industrial designer there, my role covered researching, strategizing, designing, and creating tech packs for manufacturing of the products I designed.

Our Place

Most of my time went to Our Place, who were expanding their line far beyond the Always Pan. That work has its own case study on this site.

Our Place tableware in terracotta, charcoal and blush: stacked bowls, plates, mugs and a serving platter

Design Within Reach

I also worked on a family of sofas for Design Within Reach. The concept came from Hlynur, the studio's founder, and I carried it through the final stretch, refining the design and getting the cushions to the shapes he was after, and preparing it for production. The sofa family is still in production today.
