Confluence Gallery is excited to have new products from eqpd Gear in our gift shop!
Jonathan Baker is the founder and senior designer of eqpd Gear.
"WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF eqpd (PRONOUNCED "EQUIPPED"). WE ARE A MICRO-MANUFACTURER OF EVERYDAY GEAR.
THE EXPOSED SEAMS AND RAW EDGES ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF eqpd PRODUCT. THIS TECHNIQUE ALLOWS FOR GREAT LATITUDE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AS WELL AS EFFICIENCY IN MANUFACTURING. AS WITH EVERYTHING eqpd BUILDS, ITS DESIGN IS A REFLECTION OF ITS PURPOSE: TO BE USEFUL, VERSATILE AND DURABLE."
"We take tremendous pride in our knowledge of the built world and believe only when you understand manufacturing can you build simple, purposeful, durable products.
We view ourselves as Manufacturing Activists and will never exploit labor or the environment in the development, manufacturing or sale of our products. We believe in domestic production, fair labor rates and that with considerate decision making we can reduce our environmental impact.We look to celebrate and demystify the build process, making products that are easy to understand, fabricate and repair."
eqpd products are designed anywhere and made in a 780 sq/ft design and manufacturing space, building #7 on the Twispworks Campus, Twisp, WA. USA.
