Ethos

Beyond beauty, beyond even the purity of function, for Josh there is meaning. This is what guides his work and life, a continuous search for the essence of things.

Nathaniel Popkin
Writer

Bonafides

Josh Owen is an award winning, internationally renowned industrial designer, author, and educator. His studio’s work is produced by significant manufacturers in the US and Europe, and the projects are featured in many permanent museum collections around the globe.

Approach

Because Owen’s varied roles are in high demand, we are selective about the commissions from industry that the studio accepts. We work on fewer projects but focus on building quality relationships over quantity, accounting for the attention and accolades given to our work by the media, industry, and cultural sectors.
