fruitsuper is a Seattle based design studio founded in 2008 by Sallyann Corn and Joe Kent. Partners in business and life, their collaboration is a balance of our complementary skill sets; she is the why, he is the how. Celebrants of constraints, obsessive over details, and dedicated to quality, fruitsuper focuses on creating elevated everyday objects.
While earning their first Industrial Design Degrees in 2002, they quickly realized the strength in their combined talents. They later went on to Pratt Institute to pursue their interests in entrepreneurship. During this time they spent a summer studying in Copenhagen, which greatly impacted their approach to honest materiality and appreciation of straightforward design. With a never ending thirst for creative challenges, they also currently teach Design at Cornish College of the Arts and are the designers, curators and owners of JOIN Shop.
You will often find them scheming, dreaming, and drawing over cocktails or lost behind a teetering pile of books.
