WE DESIGN: TECH ACCESSORIES. The Amplifiear is a non-electric sound amplification device for the new iPad and the iPad 2. It simply clips on the corner of your iPad and reflects and projects the sound forward towards the user. The sound coming right from your iPad now fills a room and sounds crisper and cleaner than ever..… and you won’t need to have the volume up at maximum. With its asymmetrical position, it is reminiscent of a cartoon speach bubble and gives our device a bit of a personality. WE DESIGN: WATCHES. The Slip Watch takes a simple archetypal watch shape and puts it into motion with a slight twist. The skewed posture of the watch gives the modern clean lines a new “spin”. The watch is intentionally minimal, with proportions that are almost predictable. However, its skewed posture that makes the watch appear to be slipping off the band, like a moment caught in time. WE DESIGN: JEWELRY. Deivie came to Nonlinear both for their sense of design as well as their manufacturing knowledge. The ring was designed in CAD, printed in wax and finally cast in gold. The band is an extension of an element in the logo, making it an integral part of the form. This subtle attention to detail has created a signature ring that truly embodies the spirit of the Deivie brand. WE DESIGN: ELECTRONICS. Mother Industries contracted Nonlinear to design a hand held electronic device for a non-conventional advertising campaign. Final design is still under wraps. We will let you know more when we can. Stay tuned. WE DESIGN: FUN THINGS FOR GALLERY SHOWS. Nonlinear Studio was invited to participate in the American Design Club’s latest Gallery Show, THREAT: Objects of Defense and Protection. The question posed is: “you hear something go bump in the night, what do you grab?” We unanimously said “a bat!” It is hard to improve on near perfection. But we might have come close….. We hope you enjoy this "light" hearted submission as much as we do. WE DESIGN: LIGHTING. The defining beauty in people is often the characteristic that doesn’t fit the standard mold. The Slightly Awkward Desk Lamp is simple and minimal but has a posture that is peculiar, the awkward stance of the lamp with its truncated forth leg gives it life and personality, while allowing it to balance as both an ambient table lamp and a directional task lamp. WE DESIGN: FURNITURE. This RTA coffee table employs four wood clamps as the table’s principal fasteners; measuring 40″ x 22″ x 17″, the table packs flat at 40″ x 22″ x 3″. The product is constructed out of pickled oak and steel clamps with a 1/2″ tempered glass top. WE DESIGN: SETS. Nonlinear Studio collaborated with Photographer Nisian Hughes on his “Rise and Fall” shoot for Getty Images. The series are conceptual business images using ladders to convey ideas of Discovery, Risk, Success, and the Way Forward. Nonlinear Studio Designed and fabricated 6 custom sets with vintage painting ladders and developed a unique rigging system to suspend the models without disturbing their wardrobe.

Nonlinear Studio produced all of the graphic media to transform the NBC Experience store into a black and white paper city scape featuring local landmarks and New York locals doing everyday things. The simplistic, playful and at times childlike design created the perfect environment for NBC to explore their own branding and identity in a new light. WE DESIGN: BRAND IDENTITY. Nonlinear Studio created the Branding and Identity for The Club House, a Pop Up up Gym in East Hampton will open exclusively during the summer and will be the first of a series of unique boutique gyms. Despite the rigorous work outs, the feeling needs to be fun and relaxed. The identity embodies the feel of a beachside “club house” where you would casually spend your summer afternoons.
