SUMMERINTERNPROGRAM

2014

THE STUDIO at STEWART/STAND® STEWART/STAND is a product design and development firm dedicated to original + contemporary consumer product design.

The Studio continues to maintain a focus on compact, lightweight, and smart materials design. Partnering with visionary manufacturers we are able to successfully introduce « concept products » to market.

Consumer product ideas and development is not confined to The Studio. All members of STEWART/STAND are required to participate in the creative process. In response, The Studio assists in more then product design, extending their creative talent to develop the media a business requires in bringing a product to market. This includes, but is not limited to: Packaging, Retail Display, Photography, Web Design, Catalog + Sell Sheet Design, Video, Trade Show Interior Design, Post Card, Signage, and various visual cues creating a connection between our designs and current events which we call Brand Culture.

INTERNSHIP SUMMER 2014As consumer interests shift, we respond by shifting our focus within our product catalog. This year our main focus is our Stainless Steel Wallet + Accessories collection, and the extension of the range into larger accessories and simple tech accessories.

In 2013 STEWART/STAND partnered with cie LUXE BRANDS, the exclusive US Distributor of luxury body care brands from France, Sweden, Ireland and Portugal. Development of their own brand has begun with a launch scheduled for January of 2015. cie LUXE BRANDS has partnered with specialists in France and producers in California for their premier project. Building out from packaging design, this new brand will present as a colourful brand for the modern home.

The companies STEWART/STAND and cie LUXE BRANDS develop and maintain brands, in addition to the marketing and sale, warehousing and shipping of these brands in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia and the Philippines. Distribution in countries other then Canada are maintained by our distribution partners in those countries. Standard communication tools are provided by The Studio to assist these distributors.

The Studio Employees and Interns are expected to assist in all departments when necessary. Gaining a full understanding of a product design + development firm requires understanding « the business of design ».Note: it is not beneath a principle of STEWART/STAND or cie LUXE BRANDS to assist a team member from another department, make coffee, participate in office clean-up, kit product around holidays or take inventory in the warehouse.

DECORUMThe Studio encourages an open exchange of information. Everyone’s ideas are respected and wanted. Open-ended criticism without recommendations or brain storming for solutions is discouraged.

As a company with a patented portfolio of product design The Studio believes in producing design work that is original to STEWART/STAND. We do not tolerate copying or knocking-off designs that originated outside of The Studio. Finding a balance in consumer product trends and our design theory will help differentiate our products from competitors as well as provide exciting original designs for market.

ART ENRICHMENT It is important to maintain enrichment for the arts outside of our offices. We require at least 1 visit to an art event each week (museum or gallery visit). We request that each intern share their experience with The Studio team by bringing in brochures or images of the event, thoughts on the featured artists, etc... We encourage each intern to Volunteer at least 1 day a week at a local museum or gallery.
