OUR STORY

Krog Street Tunnel in Atlanta, its graffiti-covered portal and walkway

It started with a ten-year-old

NoBox began in Atlanta in November 2019, a father-and-daughter project started weeks before Uma turned ten. Three of us now — a girl, an engineer, a copywriter — and a great many test prints.

Engineered, not styled

Every radius, weight and chamfer is resolved, not chosen — form is what's left once the constraints are met. Then it's cut, welded and powder-coated by a shop we chose because they do it better.

Quiet by design

An object's job is to recede — into the room, into your routine. Shaped to the HomePod's own curve, covering no driver, no microphone, no sensor. After a week you stop noticing it.

The same thinking, at wall scale

Desh– is our shelving company, also Atlanta. The Joy system — hangtracks, standards and shelves that carry real load and run edge to edge, with no bracket gaps to break the line.

THE VERDICT

Apple designers should have already made these

I was blown away by how much they added to the sound coming from my paired HomePods.

I even received a hand drawn picture from one of their children in my packaging.
