Instruments

Small tools for a larger mind

We build small instruments,
apps, puzzles and other
useless (and sometimes useful)
things for curiosity,
attention, memory and
everyday life.

Some things only need
to be made well.

A little about us

We come from design, machines, ideas, and a long curiosity about how small things can make a big difference. Most of this starts in a garage, on early mornings, and in the space between useful and useless.

We make things because we’re curious about them. If they turn out to be useful, even better.
