kegan fisher and liz kinnmark of design glut were recently interviewed by flavorwire. i immediately fell in love with the quirky jewelry and home design duo from brooklyn who draw inspiration from macroeconomics and trends in economic globalism:

Flavorwire: You guys are known for your jewelry made out of tiny barrels stamped with the price of oil. How does sustainability fit into your work?

Liz: We should be at a point where sustainability’s not a selling point anymore. I don’t think it should be OK to say, “I’m a sustainable company — I use bamboo from China.” I think everybody should be over that. We’re entrepreneurs. It’s not possible to use all sustainable materials if you want to get a business going. But we’re really interested in being socially conscious and building community, things that go beyond general greenwashing.
