ABOUT
CREATIVITY IS MY ONLY PASSION
Dayne Tanner is an American Industrial Designer living and working in the foothills of the Wasatch mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah. He currently works as an individual contractor out of his home studio.
"Creativity fuels my career and all my personal interests and hobbies. I love designing new products, but when I’m not at work I’m building furniture in my shop, editing footage for a family video, or renovating a space in my home. I'm happiest when I’m creating. Realizing an idea is the most gratifying work I can imagine."
PHILOSOPHY
OBJECTS HAVE SOULS
"Every object in our lives has a story, a personality, a point of view. They reflect the brands and people that created them and the values of the people that acquire them. It’s why we have emotional connections with the objects in our lives; they reflect what we care about back to us. An object’s shape, details and materials don’t just tell us how to use it but how to think about it. Form is function. To design an object is to give value a form that connects the maker to the user."
