About
Ultra-light Studio is an extension of Christian Borger’s “Ultra-light” ™ series of furniture, lighting, and structural objects.
The Studio aims to investigate and explore the inherent beauty found within materials and methods of industrial manufacturing within the context of everyday tools and objects, bringing into question notions of functional beauty and domestic necessity.
Our process is rapid and unpredictable in its evolution.
It is non-linear and free flowing, often moving in cycles and waves.
We highly value the rigorous creation and meticulous documentation of prototypes, as they each represent a decisive moment where the evolution of an idea momentarily halts and is put to the test as tangible object, providing critical real-world insight and direction to our process and future iterations. “Products” are not our goal, we aim to investigate how a design process can inform an ecosystem of objects that individually investigate a unifying idea.
Our process will push us to always continue evolving and investigating new ideas and we want to share parts of that evolving narrative with you, in their purest form. Your support, feedback, and testing gives the objects we create new lives and provides new and fresh insights on how we view the world, and contribute to it.
Our pieces are designed and produced in the USA.
