About

Since its inception in 2020, the Manhattan-based design studio Blue Green Works has established its own take on elegance that is decidedly American, marked by an emphasis on visual simplicity, straightforward clarity of construction, and a sophisticated use of materials. For Creative Director Peter B Staples this means creating works that are visually impactful, without ever being overly fussy. His design ethos is in dialogue with our contemporary culture without engaging in generational trends. Two concepts remain at the forefront of the design process: “playing well with others” and dressing “day to night.” Sociability is important: each Blue Green Works fixture must have a sense of ease. Staples explains, “I want pieces that have a distinct personality and strong allure, without upstaging the other objects around them.” Much consideration is given to versatility, often pieces can be further customized through both modularity and finish treatment: “simple changes allow them to emit different energies.”
