Sam Hecht and Kim Colin founded their design studio Industrial Facility in 2002. Paying close and meticulous attention to detail and context, their works are characterised by a combination of style and utilitarianism, creating beautful yet functional products and furniture, including exhibitions. By working to create things that are better instead of different, Hecht and Colin produce works that improve lifestyles both aesthetically and functionally. Sam Hecht and Kim Colin have both been awarded Royal Designers for Industry by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
