Yesterday, CoDeCo visited MIT for an inspiring studio visit with Matter Design inside the newly renovated MET Warehouse building. Big thanks to Brandon Clifford Brandon Clifford and Jo Lobdell Jo Lobdell for opening their space and sharing their work, and to Misstropolis Misstropolis ✨championing ideas in contemporary art for curating this special experience for the CoDeCo community!

Matter Design is rethinking the built environment by looking to enduring historical practices. From prototyping how a single person can move multi-ton objects to recasting cement and designing for reassembly, their work challenges modern construction assumptions.

What becomes possible when we stop assuming humanity is at the peak of its knowledge—and instead embrace how much we stand to gain by reconnecting design and construction?

CoDesign Collaborative (CoDeCo) has hosted countless events, programs, and workshops, with support from in-kind contributors who helped outfit third spaces and pop-up locations.

As a result, we have several beautifully designed furniture pieces that need a new home!

Support CoDeCo by bringing home one of these high-quality, commercial-grade pieces for your space. All proceeds will directly support CoDesign Collaborative's upcoming community programs, author series, and design-led social impact initiatives.

Help us clear space for new ideas while raising vital funds to power our mission!
