O/D\O is a product design and fabrication company based in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard founded by architect, Paul Lee, and furniture/cabinet maker, Anthony Abbate in May of 2019. Informed by past experience of the founders from their respective places in the typical designer/fabricator divide, O/D\O believes that design and its intended beneficiaries are best served when the gap no longer exists between design and fabrication know how. Consequently, O/D\O approaches product design by integrating meticulous consideration of fabrication techniques, material properties, supply chain limitations, maintenance issues, etc in the design process from its earliest inception. Simplicity and tectonic clarity serves as an overarching aesthetic quality in all of O/D\O’s designs but one also discovers a richness and variety of textural, figurative and chromatic details which are the result of embracing the resolution of technical issues to become an essential part of our designs.
