Design Studio MAKR Relocates to St. Augustine

The Nation’s Oldest City is now home to MAKR, a design studio and manufacturer that uses technology to create bespoke utilitarian products, according to a media release. Previously located in Winter Park, MAKR is now headquartered in St. Augustine at 64 S Dixie Highway, Unit B, behind Imagine Fine Art Printing.

“MAKR is born from my desire to make things,” said owner Jason Gregory, in the release. “As both an industrial design firm and manufacturer, we are constantly innovating and evolving our techniques. Advances in the production of our designs ensure efficiency and consistency, but they don’t reach production until they’ve been rigorously evaluated by our team. We adhere strictly to our values of quality and simplicity.”

MAKR creates an array of products from a variety of mediums, from soft goods and leather accessories to product design, furniture, and interior architecture, the release states. In addition to their in-line brand, the studio accepts special projects for private clients including furniture, custom leather goods and industrial components, according to the release. The studio maintains a strict commitment to socially responsible labor practices. Items are hand-crafted, either in the St. Augustine studio or at a St. Petersburg factory, with whom the studio has maintained a respectful relationship for the past 15 years.
