Blu Dot are designers, manufacturers, and distributors of modern furnishings and accessories. Founded in 1997 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the American company was started by three college friends who dreamed of bringing good design to as many people as possible. Almost thirty years later, the business is still led by co-founder and CEO John Christakos, and has expanded to include retail locations across the United States, Mexico, and Australia.
Blu Dot's approach to design has always been guided by practicality, accessibility, and a healthy dose of irreverence. While our offering has expanded and diversified to satisfy the needs of both residential and commercial customers across multiple categories, every design we produce out of their Minneapolis headquarters demonstrates the same level of thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and purpose. For this, we were recognized in 2018 with a National Design Award from the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
As we continue to grow, our focus remains unchanged: to inspire a more creative way of living through good design that’s good to everyone.
