Kain Lucas

Led by Product Designer Kain Lucas, Ute manufactures Australian designed products with a focus on utilitarian application. The name "Ute" is a simple abbreviation of the word "utilitarian", and is a uniquely Australian word which captures the spirit, belief, and focus of the company.Their philosophy is to create products that are beautiful in design, while maintaining a focus on simple functionality. Ute's motto is "Design that Works", and their designs, whilst being utilitarian by nature, display a high level of aesthetic refinement and quality. Kain is not in the business of producing products that fit with current fashion and trends; instead he chooses to focus on products that possess timeless appeal through their honest, simple and creative design and well considered approach to material selection.
