SPORE believes in doing simple things well. We make things that we want for our own homes, bringing together quality materials and strong design. Spore is a family-run company in Seattle, Washington. We like good little things.

TED PIERSON has been designing solutions for everyday problems since graduating from Western Washington University’s Industrial Design Program in 1992. Before starting Spore, Ted's work for other firms ranged from the purely aesthetic to the technically precise. With Spore, Ted has narrowed his focus to architectural elements, from concept to production. A particular guy, he favors Japanese and vine maples and would like to have an old Citroen DS. His really likes apple crisp and crackers flavored with ajwain.
