Mickus Projects is a multi-disciplinary design studio specializing in furniture, lighting, architecture and design strategy. Founded by Ben K. Mickus in 2006 in Brooklyn, and now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the studio takes on design, fabrication and often installation of their work. Sustainability and new fabrication techniques are inherent in the Mickus Projects M.O. We search for clever ways to minimize the environmental impact of our products by calling attention to a sophisticated logic and intrinsic beauty.
