At Designed Good, we?ve built an online store for products that blend design with a social impact.
It?s why we started by putting a bicycle image on our own company T-shirt, made with 100% organic cotton and eco-friendly dyes.
We also love these backpacks by OAK lifestyle. OAK stands for Ordinary Acts of Kindness and when you purchase a bag, a second bag (plus school supplies) is donated to children in Austin, Texas, and Rwanda.
Last fall, we came across something simple that caught our eye: a bike shelf! It's practical and well designed. Plus, the designer fires his wood in solar-powered kilns.
The bike shelf is no longer for sale on Designed Good, but you can read the full story of its impact on our site and check it out here at David Rasmussen Design.
