black + blum
black + blum are an Anglo-Swiss partnership who joined forces in 1998 and are based in London, at the European heart of design.

black + blum originally functioned as a design consultancy advising companies on any creative aspect and accumulating insight into different markets. This insight catalysed their decision to develop their own range of products. It has since become a vehicle for the designers - Dan Black and Martin Blum - to fully explore and enjoy their own creativity. Their designs have won numerous awards and are sold through selected stores all over the world. They are passionate about design and realise that a true black + blum product is always a joint input of Dan and Martin's personalities.

They are driven by the opportunity to give each design its own unique character and soul, and their brief is to create functional products that will charm and entertain. You can see this passion and fun manifesting in products like "James" - not just a doorstop or bookend, James has become his own character and moves into your home as a friend.

Hopefully you will get as much enjoyment from black + blum products as Dan and Martin got from designing them!

Dan Black + Martin Blum
Dan Black: From a manufacturing background, Dan grew up discussing products and design with his family from an early age. His passion and skill for design was recognised in a first class honours degree from the respected Design for Industry course at the University of Northumbria (Newcastle).

Dan gained further professional foresight working at IDEO (London). Frog Design (California) and under Julian Brown at Studio Brown (Bath). Dan completed successful group projects with his friend Martin Blum whilst studying in Newcastle, sparking the idea for the creative partnership that is now black + blum.

Martin Blum: Martin was born and raised in Switzerland. An early apprenticeship as a commercial clerk with a product design company provided his first insight on the development and distribution of products. He then gained an industrial design degree from the highly respected course at the University of Northumbria (Newcastle). Martin's cultural and design reference is a juxtaposition of his Swiss youth and enduring love affair for all things British.

Martin's work has been acknowledged by internationally recognised design awards.
