Innovations

Carthay has always been more than just a poster shop. Behind the pages of this site is a lifelong fascination with how ideas take shape—how beauty is built, how utility becomes elegant, and how overlooked details can quietly change everything. This is where design stops being decorative and starts doing something.

The Easy Release Outlet

First up: a simple invention that solves a quietly frustrating, everyday problem. The Easy Release outlet is our first foray into product design—a reimagined wall plate with a gentle release mechanism that makes unplugging devices actually easy. It’s designed with accessibility, aging hands, and tight spaces in mind, all without sacrificing elegance or safety.

We’re currently preparing this concept for its first round of fundraising and limited production. If you're curious, interested in early access, or want to support the next step of the journey, you can [join our list / explore the project / etc.].

Open to Possibility

Carthay offers limited consulting for creative projects that sit at the intersection of design, history, and storytelling. Whether you're developing a brand, exploring the public domain, or searching for the right visual language to express your idea—we can help shape it with care and curiosity.

We don't claim to have all the answers, but we do bring a thoughtful, design-minded perspective to the table. If you're looking for creative direction, concept refinement, or someone to help turn your “what if” into something tangible, we’re here for those kinds of conversations.
