Fort Standard (previously) is a Brooklyn-based contemporary industrial design studio founded by Gregory Buntain and Ian Collings. Pure geometry, sophisticated detailing, and long lasting natural materials like timber, marble and brass are the hallmark of their work. Their approach to design is often geared towards using traditional production methods in innovative ways. The pair have developed a distinct design language rooted in simplicity and functionality, attention to detail, connections and materiality which they describe as a “warm-contemporary” aesthetic. I, on the other hand, describe it as hipster-ville.

Fort Standard design and produce their own line of value driven products and furniture that act as the foundation of the studio. Producing long lasting, highly functional designs, the studio’s ability to act as their own manufacturer not only informs their design process, it yields smarter products that exemplify an understanding of materials and the balance between form and function.

A limited range of their product is available in Australia through Mr Kitly (previously) in Melbourne. You can also check out their online shop.
