Ultraframe is a minimalist design collection created by Brooklyn based designers UM Project. UM Project designs furniture and unusual goods. Integrating concept, design and manufacturing, the work transcends the qualities of both the handmade and the mass-produced. Ultraframe explores texture, material, and structure in reference to function. Ultraframe features rigorous geometric frames juxtaposed against soft, curvy covers, shells, or inserts. The result is both familiar and otherworldly, yielding a family of pieces that are part furniture, part vessel. UM Project kept the colors subdued as well, so that the rich and carefully chosen materials could shine.
