Memo is a design company serving the contract furniture market. We work with accomplished designers around the world to create furniture for shared and transitional interior spaces that exist across work and life. We design, manufacture, and sell, a portfolio of seating, tables, and casework with modest custom options. Memo is based in Seattle, Washington.

Motivated by design’s ability to positively affect the human condition, we create products that honor the essential. We believe that design engages best when it gets out of the way. At its most elemental, design compels us to nurture a deeper connection to an object’s fundamental qualities, giving voice to the materials from which it was made, the techniques by which it was crafted, and the designer by whom it was imagined. Through this process of distillation, we aim to create a world free of excess and the unnecessary, bringing us closer to the things that provide meaning and fulfillment. It’s when design honors the essential that we, in turn, honor the most essential of all: the human experience.
