Acollective

Acollective is a two-person industrial design studio in the Bay Area, run by Victoria Chiang and Gyeongtae Lyle Kim. Chiang is a Taiwanese-American designer who works at Logitech; Kim is Korean and came to the partnership from Aruliden. Between them the duo covers the whole arc of a product, from concept and strategy to design for manufacturing and CMF.

The portfolio stays domestic and small in scale: a compact keyboard conceived for home offices and tailored to designers and teachers, Specula, a virtual collaboration device from 2021, the Aura speaker light and the Lift fan, both 2022, a hanging lamp called Cap, the Shroom paperweight and Rose, a two-way catch-all.

The studio also takes on packaging and 3D visualisation, and frames its aim plainly: products people form a personal connection with.
