DESIGN IDEAS
A brother-sister team, Design Ideas was formed in 1983 when Andy and Alice were both in college. They had a million-dollar idea: a wire basket for toting toiletries from the bedroom to the bathroom in college dorms. The only alternative product at the time was a plastic paint bucket that didn't drain and eventually grew a rather vile "third life form" from a mixture of old toothpaste, shampoo and soap. Adopting the slogan, "No more mucky slop!," they quickly had a considerable customer base that they serviced out of the trunk of their blue Maverick. After this early success in the college bookstore market, they listened carefully to the needs of consumers and branched out of the bathroom and into the lives of millions of consumers across the U.S, and then the world.Their passion for exploring ideas and inspired designs, has led to the development of a full range of functional, fashion-forward, and moderately priced home and office accessories range that appeals to a broad range of design-conscious consumers.
Today, Design Ideas creates, manufactures and globally markets more than 1,500 innovative and affordable accessories for the home and office under the slogan, "We make things interesting."
We hope that you find their offerings interesting, and that they make your life just a little more colorful, more satisfying, more fun!
