Zoku

Zoku is known for the company's housewares. But really, we're in the thinking business. The company put the fun in functional with innovative, easy-to-use, well-designed products. Zoku means family in Japanese. The definition goes beyond creating family memories around the company's products, it speaks to the company's culture. The company's office... -which the company designed from scratch-is the company's playground. Located in the heart of Hoboken, New Jersey, the company's space is where creativity runs wild, risks are encouraged, and possibilities are infinite. We're inspired by the world around the company, getting the company's hands dirty with prototypes and learning by collaborating, building, tasting, and exploring. The company's large test kitchen is the backdrop of tasting new recipes, bouncing ideas back and forth, and often where the company all gather to eat the company's lunches. It all started with a seemingly simple idea: what if the company could make popsicles freeze faster? And after months of research, testing, and prototypes, the company's Quick Pop Maker was born. The company knew the company were on to something and soon, Williams-Sonoma agreed, picking the company up for their holiday season. Design is at the heart of everything the company do, from product innovation to packaging to the company's office supplies. Zoku designs have been included in collections at The Henry Ford, the Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design, and thousands of kitchen counters across the world. The company's proudest accolades include a handful of really touching letters from the company's customers, but we've also been recognized by the Industrial Designer's Society of America as an IDEA finalist (not to mention a Silver and Bronze recipient), a GOOD Design Award, mentions on Wired.com, and a National Parenting Seal of Approval.
