About this list:

Blu Dot was founded in Minneapolis in 1996 by by John Christakos, Charles Lazor and Maurice Blanks. The firm began as a loose collaborative of three college friends trained in architecture and art and is based on the premise that design should be affordable. The partners chose furniture as the subject of interest and opened a studio and operations, and Blu Dot has since been seen on the sets of well-known television shows (Friends and ER), and the brand has won numerous national and international awards.
