Moorhead & Moorhead

Moorhead & Moorhead is a New York-based architecture and industrial design studio, formed in 2000 by brothers Granger and Robert Moorhead. Driven by the inventive aspects of design, their work explores issues of function and materiality at scales ranging from furniture to architecture.

Collaboration is inherent in M&M's design process. At the core of the work is the pairing of their distinct backgrounds in architecture and industrial design. Each project is a unique synthesis of design, detailing and fabrication. In addition to their ongoing internal collaboration, M&M teams up with a diverse group of outside designers, fabricators and consultants on a project by project basis.

Experimentation is fundamental to their work. The M&M studio includes a prototyping shop that allows them to push materials to their limits. Full-scale in-house explorations facilitate inventive design solutions for a wide range of clients.

The Moorhead brothers’ work has been widely recognized. It has traveled the US, Europe and Asia as part of group exhibitions, and was included in the Cooper-Hewitt’s 2006 National Design Triennial. It has been published extensively in international design magazines, and received ID Annual Design Review Awards in both the Furniture and Environments categories. In 2008 Robert and Granger were named Emerging Voices by the Architectural League of New York.
