About
Maison Ogé is an experimental design practice born in Oakland, California. Our pursuit lies in the derivation of objects and things, and in the power of the simple and of the obvious. We exist simply out of a frustration with and as the antithesis to what is expected.
Conceived through utilitarian thought-experiments, our products propose alternate manifestations to known and remembered things. They are developed with extraordinary and non-traditional materials, and are presented as forms shifted from the norm.
Our Name. Our Legacy.
The name Maison Ogé (/‘may-zon/ /‘oh-j’ai/) honors our founder's grandmother, Beatrice Ogé, who was a life-long seamstress, Haitian community and church activist, and matriarch of the Ogé family.
