Working with a paintbrush manufacturer and a CNC shop, we were able to develop a machined wood paintbrush that is a useful progression of the archetypal paintbrush one would find at a local hardware store. The sculpted end allows it to open paint cans, so that the painter can get to work right away. The body is shaped so that one can comfortably hold the brush in a variety of painting and opening positions.

The Standard Paintbrush is produced in a limited run, created exclusively for Shop Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.

Designed in collaboration with Sina Sohrab.
