Our goal is to bring good design to as many people as possible. Which means creating products that are useful, affordable, and desirable. To make that happen, our design process is founded on collaboration. Not just among ourselves as we play show-and-tell with concepts, but a total collaboration between pencil and paper, materials and machines, even packaging and assembly. We like to think that the form is almost inevitable, a by-product of the process. Our job is simply to help it emerge as beautifully and as efficiently as possible.

“With the inventive, can-do spirit that characterized the work of the Eameses, Blu Dot has resurrected the values of the Good Design movement and its popular potential.”
– Marissa Bartolucci, American Contemporary Furniture

“…the latest in affordable cool”
– Lygeia Grace, House & Garden

“Running concurrently with Blu Dot’s high seriousness about utility, affordability, modernity… is a strain of high ridiculousness.”
– Alexandra Lange, Metropolis Magazine

We first fired up the Forge in a drafty old barn in the town of Hubbardton in 1974. We set out to master the art of black-smithing, mentored by our first “board of directors” - the few remaining craftsman of an industry gone by. We scavenged through New England gathering rusting anvils, trip hammers, swage blocks and other discarded tools of the trade.
