Hi, I’m Chevy :)
I believe the things we live with shape how we experience daily life
The objects around us affect us in ways we barely notice. Something that feels good to use, makes you smile when you walk past it, or simply makes an ordinary moment a little nicer can add a small bit of joy to your day. These moments may feel small, but they add up. The same is true when something is poorly designed.
The beginning of Buddy
That belief is what drew me to industrial design. I wanted to create things that are genuinely useful, but also have enough personality to make everyday life a little more joyful. If I am going to put another object into the world, I think it should earn its place in your home. It should be something you want to live with, not more stuff you eventually throw away.
I moved to New York to study Industrial Design at Parsons, where being surrounded by so many different people, ideas, and ways of living made me look at even the most ordinary objects differently.
And that’s where Buddy began.
Buddy began there as my senior thesis. What I thought would end as a school project unexpectedly resonated with people, even in its very early form. So after graduating, I decided to see if I could turn it into a real product.
Designed to feel like a little friends
I wanted Buddy to have personality without sacrificing usefulness. That led to the soft, familiar forms, playful proportions, and winding key that gives each character its toy-like quality.
But every playful detail has a practical side. The key became the entire interface, the globe gives you eight colors of light, and the cordless design lets Buddy move around your home with you.
The goal was simple: make a lamp that works well enough to use every day, and has enough character that you’re happy to keep it around.
