MGMT. is a collaborative design studio based in New York. We approach all projects with substantive research and a conceptual rigor that is an integral part of our process. 

What we like most is taking complex information and translating it into visually effective and intelligent design solutions. Along the way, our studio has learned about topics as diverse as rotational grazing, international migrant populations, and the optimal temperature to grow collard greens. And despite our affection for the internet, we still believe books are for reading and love creating objects that are tactile and real.
