Bartleby Objects is a multi-disciplinary design studio, making objects of use for the home and individual.
We feel strongly that style can be substance, form is a function, and fashion is not frivolous.
We make objects that address the needs of work, engage in a relationship to the body, and respond to notions of desire, economy, and power.
We are primarily concerned with offering a set of solutions to make daily life a little sweeter, a little easier.
We consider our goods to be gender-neutral but not explicitly masculine in aesthetic.

Our products are made on a very intimate scale - one at a time, by hand. We consider technique as an expression of culture. The technique utilised takes each object into account - its function, aesthetic, and meaning. To that end, we employ a variety of traditional and contemporary methods to produce collections that embrace and represent a wide range of expressions.
Our stocked textiles are handmade in Peru or hand-sewn in New York city. All other products are crafted in our Brooklyn Navy Yard studio by designer, knitter, weaver, and leather-worker, Mary L Chan.
Originally from Malaysia, Mary was raised in Hong Kong and Singapore, studied English Literature & Queer Theory in Scotland and New York, then Interior Design at Parsons in New York City. She established the umbrella project, Studio Bartleby, in 2006, which focuses on the practice of interior and furniture design.
