Make Designed Objects is a contemporary design retail store focusing on well-designed homewares, textiles and bedding, kitchenware, jewellery, gifts, cards, and more.

To be selected by the store a product must perform well when considered for its design appeal - both aesthetically and theoretically, its environmental soundness, its durability, its necessity, and in some cases its humour.
