Introducing Fort Standard, a young contemporary design studio located in Red Hook Brooklyn. The two founding designers Gregory Buntain and Ian Collings use their collaborative work as a fusion of craft based background and a progressive design approach to create original designs in furniture, housewares and jewelry. Pairing timeless materials and modern day processes, the designers have created a unique form language rooted in simplicity and functionality.
The warm-contemporary aesthetic they create pays homage to the influences of boy scout merit badges and the earths natural geometry and is connected by the industrial yet simple materials they use. Many of their larger home furnishing designs are often built in house, but the accessibility of their smaller and wearable pieces also come with great attention to detail. Their cage necklaces are cast directly from hand made waxes, and the brass cage like beads are complimented by a range of beautiful Japanese cord and handmade brass clasps. The contrast between the solid metals offset by the saturated colours of these pieces, combined with their contemporary designs, pair for the perfect eye catching adornment.
