About ProprThings Design Studio
Designing Thoughtful, Everyday Solutions
ProprThings was born from a simple idea: the tools and objects we use daily should work for us, not against us. Whether it's a more comfortable way to hold a tablet, a minimalist way to organize keys, or a clever solution to stabilize wobbly furniture, our designs focus on usability, simplicity, and elegance.
Inspired by a culture of hands-on problem-solving, ProprThings began with an appreciation for making, fixing, and refining objects to fit real-world needs. Using modern tools like 3D printing and rapid prototyping, we take everyday challenges and turn them into functional, well-crafted solutions.
Origins
"While living in Madagascar, I became fascinated by the approach to fixing, tinkering, and building things as you need them.
These experiences inspired me to create design tools that are simple to use and obvious to repair."
The first main product, the ProprHandle, was born out of necessity, evolving through countless prototypes and refinements. With the success of that design and product development, I founded ProprThings as a small design studio to incubate this and similar products. But it wasn't just about a one-item solution — it was the beginning of a larger approach: designing tools that seamlessly fit into daily life.
