Power of Design, Detroit and Customization

<div class= "et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_0 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"> <div class="et_pb_text_inner"> <p>Jon talks with Jacob Saphier, Co-owner of Donut Shop Design, Detroit-based design studio, about the power of design, Detroit and customization.</p> <p>Donut Shop is a Detroit-based design studio founded in 2017 by friends Ian Klipa and Jacob Saphier. They work on a variety of projects including furniture, lighting, and spaces. While their portfolio spans multiple disciplines and styles, it is unified by a desire to build upon traditional craft. Ian and Jake come from a sculptural background and are largely self taught when it comes to machining and fabrication. This duality leads to unconventional approaches in their work.</p> <p>Donut Shop designs and produces the majority of it’s work in house. This means that the completion of a project is rarely far from its conception both physically and mentally. This results in a practical approach to design, where the processes involved in creating work are always a consideration. In addition to their own production capabilities, Donut Shop relies on the area’s wealth of industrial heritage to realize their designs utilizing both local services and suppliers.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /></p> </div> </div> <div class= "et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"> <div class="et_pb_text_inner"> <p><strong>Connect with Jon Dwoskin:</strong></p> <p>Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/jdwoskin">@jdwoskin</a><br /> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.dwoskin">https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.dwoskin</a><br /> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/thejondwoskinexperience/">https://www.instagram.com/thejondwoskinexperience/</a><br /> Website: <a href= "https://jondwoskin.com/">https://jondwoskin.com/<br /></a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jondwoskin/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jondwoskin/</a><br /> Email: <a href= "mailto:jon@jondwoskin.com">jon@jondwoskin.com</a><
