ACME Studio

ACME Studio ACME Studio is an international product design company, which produces and markets writing instruments, stationery accessories, watches, cufflinks and more.

From a pen by Richard Meier or Shigeru Ban to a pair of cuff links by Massimo Vignelli, ACME Studio is a leading manufacturer and distributor of products and accessories designed by the world’s foremost architects, artists and designers. ACME’s first appearance in 1985 consisted of a collection of accessories designed by Peter Shire of the renowned Memphis Group, which changed the face of jewelry

just as Memphis changed the face of design. Founded by husband-and-wife Adrian Olabuenaga and Lesley Bailey, ACME Studios has elevated the standard for fine writing instruments by pushing the boundaries of production while maintaining the highest standard of quality and integrity. Nominated for multiple design awards including the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award, ACME’s product is distributed by leading retailers and museums, with multiple shop-in-shops and freestanding flagship stores worldwide. From the strong relationships ACME builds with their artists and designers to the company’s inspiring facilities designed by Ettore Sottsass on the hillside of Haleakala Crater in Maui, ACME Studio has earned a place as a recognized leader in superior product design. ACME was nominated in 2009 for a National Design Award in Corporate Achievement by the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum. In 2010, they were again nominated but this time in 2 categories (product design and corporate achievement). In 2012, ACME’s Playhouse pen designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was awarded a GOOD Design Award. Additionally, Shigeru Ban's Scale pen won the Good Design Award USA.

“Memphis Designers for ACME,” is a collection first released in 1985, celebrates the designs and designers of the MEMPHIS Group, a design collective formed in 1981. It encompasses brooches, necklaces, and earrings from legendary designers such as Ettore Sottsass, Aldo Cibic, Michele De Lucchi, Nathalie Du Pasquier, and many more.

Historically, this collection is part of the foundation of ACME Studio's legacy, as the relationships forged from working with these designers, would lay the foundation of everything ACME has done since. Come take a look, and maybe you’ll own a piece of not only ACME’s history, but design history.

From left to right:
• Memphis Designers for ACME jewelry collection.
• Euphoria necklace by Ettore Sottsass
• Cahuenga brooch by Peter Shire
• Cometa earrings by Ettore Sottsass
