Designed in Vermont, regretted nowhere.

Unnecessary Inventions is the ongoing creative practice of designer Matt Benedetto. Working out of The Ui Studio in Burlington, VT, he builds physical and digital products that solve problems no one is asking him to solve.

The inventions have appeared in every major news outlet, on stages across three continents, and inside several Spirit Halloween stores he wasn't paid for.
