  • 2000 - 2009

    Black+Blum started out as a design consultancy before shifting to product design. Our first lighting range was a success, followed by the award-winning 'James' doorstop, 'Flik' corkscrew, and 'Loo Read' loo roll holder. We later introduced the 'Propello' fan, 'Hot Pot' barbecue, and space-saving kitchen products

  • 2010 - 2011

    We launched 'Box Appetit', a stylish alternative to plastic lunch containers inspired by Japan's Bento boxes, designed for Western cuisine. Later Black+Blum released the Eau Good filter bottle, using active charcoal to improve tap water taste and reduce plastic waste. This led Black+Blum to where it is today.
