About
Based in Manhattan, pulltab design specializes in architecture, interior design and custom furniture.
Philosophy
During the early 1970's pull-tabs were ubiquitous.
As a part of one's daily landscape they were in a way unseen - only marginally thought of through their utility or as a discarded item.
Today the pull-tab has been removed from its original context.
Fifty years after its invention (c.1962) it has been redefined as a collectable item (as when happily still found, unused, on an old soda can). It has been re-purposed as a design element in fashion (in dresses for example) and it has even been adopted as the name for an architectural firm.
The arc of the pull-tab is one that intrigues us as a metaphor for how to approach design as we strive to see things outside of a set perspective.
We believe design should consider both its required function and equally important its sensory and emotive qualities. It is the latter that we feel truly anchors and steadies our lives.
