Brella Buddy (Lifestyle Product)

Traditional umbrella stands do a great job holding down our shade makers, but are a single purpose product and are mostly a static solution, we saw an opportunity to create a product.

A day out at the park, beach or lake requires cold storage for food and drinks, usually bringing either an esky or a soft insulated bag. This is largely dead weight for most of the duration.

Forever spilling your drink because there isn't a stable place to put it? You're not alone.

Umbrellas at the beach are simple to set up in the loose sand, but there are so many other outdoor scenarios where you'd love to have shade but there's nowhere to put it in the ground.

Ontic Audio Range

Good speakers sometimes feel like magical boxes, but what makes them sound good? Here we’re trying to hero all the elements that make you wonder why it sounds like the band is in your living room.

In the design process we started with a question ‘what music means to us’. Music for the most part is invisible and with streaming services, while they are great, are making the listening experience even more invisible. We want to bring back the warmth and tactile experience you get from turning a solid knob to 11, switching between inputs or losing track of scattered record sleeves in the moment with a friend, whilst keeping those streaming benefits on demand.
