The design team at FUZ is lead by Josh Jakus, the California-based industrial designer best known for his shape-shifting UM handbags. Josh set out to create simple, elegant, and fun objects for FUZ. The result is a unique line of household accessories that is both accessible and provocative.
Sustainably produced
FUZ uses recycled or excess materials whenever possible. Also, FUZ products are designed for efficient manufacturing, achieving the highest yield from standard units of raw material and reducing energy-consuming machine time. Many require just a single punch from an industrial-sized cookie cutter to turn raw material into a finished product.
Made in the USA
FUZ manufactures in the USA, producing small batches to meet customer demand. Keeping our business lean and local is good good for our bottom line and good for the consumer, allowing us to offer reasonable pricing that is competitive with big-box stores.
This feltare little more than pieces of grey felt with zippers. they lay flat for storage and cleaning, but can be zipped up into bags. that's all you have to do; if you know how to use a zipper, you know how to use and transform UMs.
UMs are made from two layers of industrial wool felt. the felt comes from factory excess, pieces that would normally go to waste. you could consider this a environmentally friendly bag, since it recycles natural materials and looks good doing it.
UMs are cut and sewn in the san francisco area.
these bags are made of natural materials. there may be some variation in color and texture from what's pictured here.
85% wool, 15% mixed fibers.
