Stamen Design

We’re often told that utility comes before beauty. That practicality is more important than, and antecedent to, delight. Delight and fun and all that frilly stuff is something that happens after the serious hard core responsible work is done. At Stamen we don’t think that way. It’s also not how the history of the world runs. In our work, utility and beauty share an equal footing. They don’t compete with one another; they support each other.
