ACME Studio is an international product design company, which produces and markets writing instruments, stationery accessories, watches, men’s silk ties, men’s accessories, and other design objects. Its products are the result of cooperation with the world’s leading architects, designers, artists, foundations, estates and institutions. ACME’s attitude has also had results on architecture; On the ACME grounds, Italian master designer/architect Ettore Sottsass has designed and created a house, and will soon be adding two more buildings.
ACME Studios was started in 1985 by Adrian Olabuenaga and his wife Lesley Bailey. The first project, which, as Adrian says, "set the ball rolling," was a collection of twelve brooches by California artist and Memphis designer Peter Shire. Then, with the help of writer Barbara Radice and designer Ettore Sottsass, ACME Studios organized "Memphis Designers for ACME," a collection of over 100 designs by 14 designers and architects, including Andrea Branzi, Aldo Cibic, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Marco Zanini, Michele De Lucchi and others.
“Architects For ACME" followed, and with this collection "we explored Postmodernism, Neomodernism and Pluralism - to name a few" - mostly with American architects (Richard Meier, Robert A.M. Stern and others) organized under the guidance of noted architect Phillip Johnson.
