Great ideas created by Goodbyn

Karen

Goodbyn are a small company in Naperville, Illinois who had a little idea to reinvent the way kids eat lunch—making lunchtime easier, more inspiring and fun for both kids and parents. From the beginning, they decided to be as transparent as possible about our decisions as a company: how they produce, ship and get product to market. Below, you’ll find information about our materials, suppliers, vendors and craftsmen whose unrelenting energy has made Goodbyn possible.

As they concepted Goodbyn and researched kids’ eating habits, we wanted a team of people who meshed with their beliefs, but had the unique background of research-driven, modern product design. They thought they’d be searching for a while, but (almost immediately) we were able to form a team with the expertise and design aesthetic that enables Goodbyn to look as cool as it does while making lunchtime for kids smarter than ever.

Goodbyn’s products are manufactured, assembled and fulfilled in the Midwest United States.

Now available to buy in the United Kingdom directly from Dennis and McGregor.

Around the world with Bold & Noble

Karen

We love how Bold and Noble used typography to create these gorgeous-looking maps of the UK and Ireland, Australia, New-Zealand, London, France, Italy, Canada and the USA. The colours of these  Type map prints by Bold and Noble are just perfect….right on trend.

Ingeniously charting Anglophone countries with city names written in their correct geographical location, Bold & Noble’s striking maps are a typographic puzzle that stimulate the eye as well as the mind. The U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand and a detailed London are each transcribed, with various font weights drawing attention to the major destinations.
