Hard Objects is a family affair.
We make beautiful things for life and the living.
Our work is multi-modal and never-ending; an ongoing conversation between materials, spaces, and the people who live in them. We are artists, designers, and explorers bringing intention into form.
Together, we shape the world we live in. One object at a time.
Nicole Howard leads with vision.
She draws from a background in retail display, architectural construction, and graphic design.
She also sews, beads, paints, illustrates, and shapes environments with feeling and clarity.
Eric Howard keeps us moving.
A lifelong technologist and media-maker, he codes, writes, paints, and designs for experience.
He sees systems as art and art as a system.
Robert Howard builds the impossible.
With 40 years in woodworking and furniture-making, he also crafts in concrete, glass, metal, and whatever materials this week demands.
A master of the hand-made and the hard-to-make.
