MFGR DESIGNS

01

Welcome. We are MFGR.

Refusing to confine ourselves to the traditional rules of design, we consider ourselves one-of-a-kind, blurring the lines between being an architecture firm, design house, landscape architects and artists. 

Functional art inspired by a life well-lived. This succinct phrase captures the essence of MFGR, but it also represents something much bigger – the promise we make to our customers, employees and ultimately to ourselves. We promise to fearlessly pursue creative satisfaction, whether choosing a line through the trees or welding a seam on a staircase. It’s the reason we do what we do and live where we live. This deep seeded belief informs our use of steel and wood to create stunning, functional pieces of art that are designed to be a part of everyday life. This promise holds us accountable and challenges us to create perfection; to surpass expectations through attention to the smallest details and to build products that tell a story much bigger than our own.

The environment we live in informs the designs we build; our curiosity helps bring those designs to life.

Our Skills

In a world of replications and rip-offs we follow no path other than our own, always searching for a way forward that hasn’t been explored. Our designs stand alone, they are an extension of who we are and what we believe in, they represent a lifestyle and a deep respect for the landscapes surrounding us.

We’re inspired by the materials of the region. We design with purpose and intent to make rad stuff with details that make us standout. We push people beyond what they can even imagine, creating a piece that captures the spirit of the area. You won’t find this anywhere else. No one is making what we make – there’s a little bit of heart and soul in each project.

Rod is a true diamond in the rough.

What We Do

We have always refused to confine ourselves to the traditional rules of design, MFGR is one-of-a-kind, blurring the lines between being an architecture firm, design house, landscape architects, and artists. Our signature style is evident all over Bozeman, from public park bridges and music venues, to the hippest hotels and restaurants, MFGR gives voice to modern mountain design.

Custom –

True to our design aesthetic in the problems we solve.  

No matter the challenge we never sacrifice our aesthetic, it’s the thread that remains unbroken from project to project. It represents what we believe in and to abandon that would be to abandon ourselves. As designers, we see it differently in that we don’t always see the monetary value of what we create, rather, we see the beauty in it. This principle guides us and keeps us true in all the projects we complete – we’ll find a solution and then obsess, collaborate and revise until it meets our standards of excellence.

Landscape

Influenced by nature, it provides clarity and informs the designs we build.

Nature is critical to our success, that’s why we live and work where we do rather than in a design epicenter like San Francisco or New York. We’re removed from major cities with limited access to resources and fewer clients that fit our target audience and that’s the way we like it. We prefer a life-work balance, getting outside to explore this world we live in and the place we are lucky enough to call home. In everything we do there is a definitive nod to nature; we design our landscapes to blend into their surroundings rather than disrupt and we choose to live our lives by that same principle.

Architecture

Progressive in thought and design, traditional in values and materials.

We use traditional materials such as wood, steel and concrete in a contemporary manner to create projects that elude categorization. We push these basic materials beyond their expected appearances and purpose, forcing people to re-imagine what they know. Metal and wood made masculine and feminine, warm and cold; this contrast captures the spirit of Montana that is present in everything we design and build.

Furniture –

Building a sense of identity and perfection in an imperfect world.

In a world of replications and rip-offs we follow no path other than our own, always searching for a way forward that hasn’t yet been explored. Our designs stand alone, they are an extension of who we are and what we believe in, they represent a lifestyle and a deep respect for the landscapes surrounding us. We dance with perfection by building the most intensely creative art, inspired by nature and executed with dedication and obsession down to the smallest details. From the choice of slab to a single stitch in leather, everything we design is functional, curated and unique.

Just a few of our rad clients

We promise to fearlessly pursue creative satisfaction, whether choosing a line through the trees or welding a seam on a staircase. It’s the reason we do what we do and live where we live. This deep seeded belief informs our use of steel and wood to create stunning, functional pieces of art that are designed to be a part of everyday life. This promise holds us accountable and challenges us to create perfection; to surpass expectations through attention to the smallest details and to build products that tell a story much bigger than our own.
