As friends in college we shared a passion for art, architecture and design. After school, we went looking for modern design to furnish our first homes, but the things we could afford we didn’t like, and the things we liked we couldn’t afford. We figured we weren’t alone. So, along with our friend Charlie Lazor, the three of us – two architects and a sculptor – started Blu Dot in 1997. We’ve been designing things we love in our Minneapolis studio every day since.
