Entrepreneur Field Days: Moglea, Making Artful Goods For Everyday
From the Greater Des Moines Partnership and sponsored by the IEDA: Join Meg and Chad Gleason, owners of Moglea, at Entrepreneur Field Days: Moglea, Making Artful Goods For Everyday. Moglea is a Des Moines-based studio that focuses on the craft of artful stationery and home goods. Meg and Chad Gleason started Moglea back in 2012 after exhibiting their first Moglea stationary line at the National Stationery Show. While living on a farm in Audobon, Chad designed the first studio on the same property as their farmhouse, which later reignited his passion for designing furniture. Due to the challenges of keeping staff in a small town, the Gleason's moved Moglea to Des Moines in 2018.
Today's studio contains all operations, including the design studio, wood prototype shop, press room, production studio, and fulfillment. Chad and Meg are still the creative directors of the line.
Learn and discuss:
- Understanding the studio process using hand-applied production
- Growing a national wholesale market in retail
- Furniture design and bringing new ideas to life
- The balance of being a creative director and business owner
