An Interview with Ben Hopkins and Eric Pfeiffer
AMERICAN AESTHETIC
Ben Hopkins
Eric Pfeiffer
The best ideas are generated when talented people and inspiration come together. This concept was not lost on the founders of Pair when they looked to design and develop a new line of highly customizable furnishings for the modern workplace. To bring these products to life, co-founders Brian Wilson and Brian Buhl sought out the talents of Bay Area industrial designers Ben Hopkins (Studio Hopkins) and Eric Pfeiffer (Pfeiffer Lab). The ONELOOK team sat down with Ben and Eric to talk about their collaboration with Pair, the challenges they faced, and their vision for a new American design aesthetic.

An Interview with Ben Hopkins and Eric Pfeiffer
With Pair, you are working with a really talented team. What is it like to partner with other designers and organizations on your creations? BH: It is really exciting to work with others from varying fields of expertise and see their vision. Receiving feedback from different perspectives makes the design much more powerful. For example, Brian Wilson (Co-Founder of Pair) has an Industrial design background, but he also brings a business and market point of view. Brian Buhl (Co-Founder of Pair) brings an expert opinion from a sales perspective. They both provided great direction early into the project at an early phase. These two really know what customers want and how to fill voids in a market. Where does an idea like Pair start? EP: Our work is really focused on utility. As designers we are solving problems. Many times we start with research to better understand the problem. In the end, our products have to work well to have longevity and part of that is to create something beautiful. Why do you think the world needs solutions like these? BH: Beautiful furniture conveys a certain emotion – it makes us look and feel good, but there is a functional aspect as well. There are lots of solutions – height adjustability for example, that hit function but lack finesse – or are beautifully executed but not useful. We wanted to bring versatility without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. If we can bring beauty and function to an organization’s workflow, a real opportunity presents itself. What else drives you? BH: Making a positive difference in the way people work, through furniture. I want the products I develop to encourage productivity in the workplace, even if that means doing so quietly in the background. EP: I want to be able to present a different take on contract furnishings – to create a distinct designs that celebrate an American Aesthetic. Right now our studio is very interested in exploring the notion of American Design with our work and with the different designers we collaborate with. We are looking to create something different but with a commonality that holds it all together. We have such a rich design history here in the U.S. I wonder how we can shine a light on it.
