Renegade x Design Milk Spotlight: Gantri
We've selected a SF-based tech+design startup as our Spotlight for the NYC edition of Renegade Craft Fair.
When looking at the exhibitors at the most recent Renegade Craft Fairs, we kept going back to one: a small design brand based in San Francisco called Gantri. Made up of a team with backgrounds in economics, engineering, and industrial design, their lighting is sleek and beautiful. So beautiful that we chose them as our Design Milk Spotlight exhibitor at this weekend’s New York Renegade Craft Fair, so be sure to stop by and see them in the Design Milk Spotlight. I talked to Gantri CEO Ian Yang about how Gantri came about and what’s next for the brand:
Who are you" Tell me more about you.
We?re small team of designers, engineers and 3D printing geeks working out of a warehouse in the Mission District in San Francisco. We have a pretty diverse crew but we?re all super passionate about making design more accessible. I?m from Shanghai originally, grew up in the UK, went to the London School of Economics, and previously worked on user experience and software engineering for the apartment rental platform Lovely. Our CTO is a former NASA engineer who founded a company that uses AI to reuse space debris. One of us has a master?s in industrial design, another worked for fashion start-up, and another taught himself to 3D print and even hosted a 3D printing motorcycle competition. We?re all very driven people, united by a desire to merge design and tech....
