Industrial Facility

London studio Industrial Facility was co-founded in 2002 by designers Sam Hecht and Kim Colin. Hecht, from London, trained as an industrial designer; Colin, from Los Angeles, trained as an architect. Together they design products, furniture and exhibitions, aiming to create beauty out of utility.

Their stated intention is to work for industry in a way that improves the things we live with, designing objects that last and give satisfaction beyond what the brief calls for. Clients include &Tradition, Santa & Cole, Emeco, Epson, Google and Wästberg. They were European creative directors for Muji Japan and Mattiazzi, and in 2026 became global creative directors for Herman Miller; in 2016 they set up Future Facility for connected products.
