Art@Work recently took visit to Malcolm Fontier. About Malcolm. As co-founder and lead designer his unique style, and his creative approach to life in general, form the foundation of our line and our fun studio environment.
Malcolm’s style is hard to categorize with its modern, yet approachable aesthetic. His multi-cultural upbringing, eclectic interests, and a love for pushing the boundaries may tell part of the story. Malcolm also has a rare ability to tackle any project with everything, yet not take anything too seriously. Our products are a fusion of this unique perspective and a practical, problem solving industrial design background—all fueled by his infectious energy and a love for adventures, both in and out of the studio.
Malcolm seems to be on a personal mission to explore every corner of the world and meet all the characters he can along the way- hence the need for the perfect carryall! He prefers his work and his vacations as hands-on and on-the-go, fluid-like affairs. You can be sure a bag and wallet of ours as well as his sketchbook were along for the ride on every adventure—whether it was a stay in Rio, island hopping in the Caribbean or his recent motorcycle trip from Atlanta to Halifax, Nova Scotia!
The rest of our studio may not necessarily hop on a motorcycle to go explore a city thousands of miles away— but, we all share Malcolm’s passion for bold and stylish lifestyles.
