Target Introduces New "Made by Design" Home Brand

Target is going back to its roots for the release of its latest home brand, and the fourth home brand launched in the past year alone: Made By Design. Similar to its partnership with Michael Graves in the 2000s, Target has conceptualized the new home goods brand with a strong focus on a theme of functional, clean design.

With inventory including everything from cookware with pour spouts and lids with built-in strainers, the line seeks to provide functional, everyday items that are practical and affordable. Specifically, this line is projected to attract the likes of Target’s millennial audience, who are starting out in their first home (in the same way Target’s Room Essentials line is geared toward those starting out in college.)

How can we make that product better and easier but still keep it affordable?”
