Designer | Nick Steinhardt 23in
Location | Redlands, Califonia, U.S.A.
Launch Date | January 10, 2011
The design offers a juxtaposition of two worlds that represent different pillars of our values as a worker-owned co-op: the first draws on inspiration from the socially-conscious pop art movement of the 60's and 70's, namely Sister Corita Kent, and the second involves textures and styles from ordinary blue collar work spaces. The former aligns the visuals from an area of progressive social change with our radical business model, the latter anchors our mission in the work environments that typify the working class to which we belong. Together we have something both loud and restrained that is also deeply informed by who we are rather than mere aesthetic choice. Our mission is to demonstrate that there is a better way of organizing our work lives if we attend to both the material needs and realities of work and the dreams, hope, ambition, and beauty encapsulated in the work of artists like Sister Corita Kent. The packaging is made entirely from post consumer goods and is 100% recyclable.
