Black + Blum


Combining intellect with form, each Black + Blum product is designed to address a specific need or function, rendering it fully functional in every aspect, and not merely an accessory.  Looking at the full product range it is joyously apparent that functionality is in the foreground, whereas for others in this field, it often takes a backseat to aesthetics.  Also to their credit,  Black + Blum makes the conscious decision to offer well-made pieces at appropriate prices.  Products this smart, yet simple, will stay on for decades as 'must-haves' for the design-savvy, and even the design-not-so-savvy.  Of particular interest, the “flow” in-line wall-mounted wine rack with reusable packaging.  

Do yourself a favor-- don’t look for their products in stores, make the trip to OXO Tower Wharf to buy in their studio.  The most polite and professional person I came across during the LondonDesignFestival, I later discovered when reading their products brochure, was Martin Blum.
