The Burdick Group, located in San Francisco, California, applies the disciplines of industrial design, interior architecture, graphic and interactive media design to the development of information and entertainment environments, furniture and products, for clients worldwide. In our work, we seek "functional change" resulting in unique solutions that have changed the perception of what a museum, exhibition, retail environment, desk or chair can be.

The cross-fertilization of ideas that occurs from working within a variety of disciplines broadens the thinking we apply to each of our projects and encourages an innovative approach. The unifying aspect of our work is the singular philosophy we apply to each project, regardless of scale.

In our development of information and entertainment environments -- be they a museum, exhibition, showroom, visitor center or retail store -- our goal is to "fuse content with form" so that the design of the environment reinforces the content or product message. We seek methods which will attract, engage, challenge and inform the targeted audiences. As pioneers, in the late 1970's of the use of interactive compute technology in public environments, we continue to look for ways to appropriately integrate multimedia - both computer and video -- into our work, to expand the visitor's experience.

Established in 1970 The Burdick Group has received numerous honors and awards from International Design Magazine, the Industrial Designers Society of America, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the Society of Environmental Graphic Designers, the European Ergo Design Congress, The International Design Yearbook, Time Magazine ("Ten Best Designs"), Product Design 2, Graphis Annual, Print Magazine's Digital Art and Design Annual and Print Casebooks - Best of Exhibit Design.
