Founded in 2019
Founded by two best friends in Brooklyn, after designing 3D printable assistive devices for people with disabilities, Amin and Jed decided to redesign everyday products with everyone in mind.
Creating New Possibilities
CURVD® is a mission-oriented consumer houseware product. The CURVD® team challenges the status quo of everyday products through inclusivity, accessibility, aesthetics, and premium materials.
An immigrant entrepreneur, who came to the US in 2015 to continue his education in engineering. Amin found his way up from being homeless in NYC to designing 50+ products for major airports and banks in the US. His first invention was a custom wheelchair for children at school when he was 14. Amin is interested in technology, 3D printing, cars, hiking, and cooking pizza.
Jed is a licensed sailor who used to sail U.S. foreign aid to Africa and has a master's degree in Ocean Engineering. Jed spends most of his time tinkering and making different things, such as a hydroponic garden that grows strawberries in a Brooklyn apartment or building new 3D printers designed to work onboard ships.
It all started in our living room in Brooklyn, NY.
We develope 3D printable assistive devices for people with limb differences or disabilities.
We decided to reimagine the design of everyday products. We chose mugs, because everyone deserves to enjoy their drink at any business or at home, regardless of their capabilities. We realized that the diner-style mugs, or gift-shop mugs are the most common, familiar, standard mug that you can find at almost every shop. We designed the CURVD mug, to reinvent it. A design that follows the natural grip of a hand, wide and open handle for tight grip, and a slope on the handle to allow those with disability have a stable grip.
