How lucky we are to be a friend of designer Brendan Budge.  He has designed and built many of the function display pieces that help define Tilde. From our front desk to our jewelry cases, Brendan describes his work as post-industrial design and we think he’s got that term pegged.

The added perk for us is that his quick thinking mind works well with our more idea-based thought patterns. Once Brendan figures out what we are actually asking for (!) he has designed and built some stand out display pieces that fit seamlessly into our shop.

Here’s Brendan’s definition of his business:

Creativity and invention at BrendanDesignBuild are unlimited.  They are fed by the limits of the given project.  This is design without pretense; making things for now that will last through tomorrow and age gracefully, the recognition of finite resources and the denial of anything being disposable.  Every detail is thought out, every avenue of usage contemplated.  BrendanDesignBuild is the promotion of use, not consumption.

As you can see, Brendan’s work matches Tilde’s aesthetic to a T. Clean, simple, refined. Natural, functional. Beautifully designed pieces. He also designed the front desk and play structure for our friends at Spielwerk Toys on N. Williams. On your next visit to Tilde, be sure to look closely at what’s supporting and displaying our fab products, too. Thank you Brendan!
