in 2004, rhode island school of design graduates 
jason horvath and 
bill hilgendorf founded 
uhuru (ooh-HOO-roo). uhuru is a brooklyn new york based "multidisciplinary design studio merging avant-garde design with a commitment to environmental sustainability." that's in their words. 
plus they have the most amazing furniture. that's in my words...
i could go on to describe jason & bill's process, how they conceive of their designs and what uhuru means to them, but they say it better. have a listen...
enjoy!
