The blog of the Malcolm Fontier Studio is a nod to the creative, go-getter lifestyles that inspire our line, along with a front row view of some of our own adventures- in and out of the studio. We love a pack-and-go lifestyle and people who seek out challenges and adventure in every corner. Double Rectangle is dedicated to the people who live it up. Venture boldly!

Custom Mojitos

July 28, 2010

We recently wrapped up two very cool collaborations. We produced custom Mojito wallets for Mozilla, the group behind Firefox, and Modern Atlanta, a rapidly growing organization that promotes design and architecture excellence.
The wallets turned out great, although we may be a little biased! With the crowds that these two organizations run with, we know the [...]

Art At Work

July 15, 2010

We got a sneak peek on some great custom Malcolm Fontier bags. We donated 30 bags to Atlanta’s “Art at Work” a program that supplies art instruction to teens, along with broadening their sense of community & artistic experience. The painted bags came out beautifully! All bags are being auctioned at an Art At Work [...]

Business and Pleasure in Japan

June 4, 2010

I made a work trip to Asia recently to work out some production issues and source materials. This was my 4th trip like this in the last few years and each time I, or we, go, we try to squeeze in a little of non-work fun since we already traveled that far. On this trip [...]

Design Jam Session

March 2, 2010

We recently wrapped up our first in-house design “Jam Session.”  It’s time to add some new products to our line, and we decided to tackle the process a little differently this time.
We like keeping the in-house team small and agile (a.k.a. “mobile”), but when it comes to solving design challenges and adding hot new pieces [...]

January 26, 2010

“Meet Designer, Malcolm Fontier”: An interview with Scout Mob published January 26, 2010
Local designer Malcolm Fontier has been featured in so many noteworthy magazines, it seems ridiculous to name them all (but we’ll start: Wired, Dwell, Lucky, Design Milk, AJC, Thrillist, etc., etc.) The man behind the design is just as cool and collected as [...]

What is “Modern” anyway?

December 17, 2009
MFontier_FW09_Dip13_Modern

To us “modern” is more than an aesthetic, it’s a lifestyle. A modern approach involves rethinking all traditions and “norms”, utilizing technology and embracing a globalized world. It means using this approach to shape your own rewarding and enjoyable path- wherever and whatever that path might be. To us, this thinking is a huge part [...]

Unisex: It’s catching on.

November 25, 2009
Malcolm_Fontier_Entertainer

We have always sold our line as “unisex.” To us it just made sense- we would design it, put it all out there, and let you decide which pieces you like. It’s always nice to hear a little confirmation that we’re doing something fresh and heading the right direction. We recently spotted a NYTimes article [...]
