About Pretty Useful Objects

Pretty Useful Objects is a small design studio based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was founded by Greg Neufeld, a mechanical engineering graduate with a passion for creating thoughtful, functional products. What began as a hands-on exploration of 3D printing quickly grew into a focused practice centered on designing objects that are as practical as they are visually appealing. Each piece is designed in-house and produced in small batches, allowing for a high level of control over quality, detail, and material use. Greg’s engineering background informs every product — balancing form, function, and durability to create items that are made to be used every day. From planters and organizers to home accents, the goal is to create pieces that feel intuitive, purposeful, and quietly distinctive. Pretty Useful Objects is built on the idea that good design doesn’t need to be complicated — just considered. The studio continues to evolve through new designs, small refinements, and a commitment to making objects that genuinely improve the spaces they’re part of. We’re always open to collaborating with retailers to curate collections that feel cohesive, useful, and easy to love.Read their story
