Oftentimes it’s not so obvious what a business needs for their project.

Most of the time it’s a designer being willing to ask the questions, and actually listen to the answers. It’s the best beginning we can ask for.

Recognizing and respecting the process is our specialty.

Schedule a discovery call today and let us help you where ever you are in your process.

Does this statement surprise you?

“CEOs keep insisting that some of the best reasons to come back to the office are to reconnect with colleagues, meet in person again and have the kind of spontaneous interaction that boosts creativity,
.but new research finds that many returning employees just want to get their work done.”

What's your thoughts do you want to go back or find new ways for getting your work done?!

It takes time to develop a plan especially when the client wants to make thought out and intentional changes, and has been operating in the same space for over 20 years.

We have been working on workflows, those that exist and ones that will improve the day to day of the staff and service for customers.

It's not all about what you can see. Sometimes it's what you can't see that has the most impact on a project.

Quality Craftmanship
There is no compromise. All of the products we use are made by humans and with their very talented hands. Every piece is individually born and crafted into a healthy piece you will be proud of and will live for generations.

The Planet
ID. +Collective only works with Makers who are respectful of the planet in their choice of materials, the way they make their products and how they handle their waste. We believe our spaces should not only be well made and beautiful, but should also not be a health risk.

Made in the US
We focus on using products are designed and made in the USA. ID. +Collective strongly supports the return of craft and furnishings production by artisans and small studios in New England and the USA.

Authenticity
No copies! All of the designs from our Makers are of their own creation, or under the license of the original designer. We will always be transparent about who designed an item and who actually made it. In almost all cases, it is the same person.

Diversity & Community
Various perspectives and cultural backgrounds make our community stronger and relevant. While all of our Makers live in New England and the USA, many come from families that started somewhere else and we are proud that we are nearly evenly divided between women and men owned studios. We also believe people should be treated fairly and properly paid for their contribution.

The art of meaning yes when you say yes.

'Yes I can take that on and here's what I'll need from you to make it work.'

'Yes, and I'll need to push back the deadline on [this project] to accommodate. Will that work for you?'

It's a simple change in language, but it can have a big impact on how you approach your work and your relationships. Start saying 'yes, and...' and watch your leadership acumen soar!

Recently our founder participated in the entrepreneurs summit with and after experiencing all of the innovative entrepreneurs and creative idea support and learning from those who gone before and been successful. It prompted this evaluation of ourselves...

While we are drawn to the poetic expression of conceptual ideas, at the core, we are enthusiastic problem-solvers who, because of our diversity, are unafraid of crossing disciplines and traditional boundaries in search of satisfying, innovative and economical solutions.

Each project is unique and so to are the processes by which we arrive at the built conclusion. It is our goal to leverage the tools and resources available to us to realize optimal aesthetic and functional results for our clients.

What's prompting or motivating you today?!
