Farewell to function house

After a lot of reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to close function house.


Running a cannabis accessory brand in the U.S. has always been a balancing act — navigating complex regulations, advertising restrictions, and payment barriers that make it harder than ever for small, independent makers to grow. Add to that the shifting retail landscape in recent years — from higher costs to the pressure of competing with big online marketplaces — and it’s been a tough but honest realization that it’s time to step away.


On a more personal note, my priorities have evolved. I recently became a dad and as I enter this new chapter, I’m choosing to focus on the people and projects that need me most right now.


I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who supported function house — from our loyal customers and collaborators to the creative community that helped shape what we built.

Your encouragement, curiosity, and belief in design-forward cannabis culture meant the world to me.


Thank you for being part of this journey. Though function house is winding down as a business, it will live on as a side project where I will continue to build products in the spirit of thoughtful, elevated design. Find me on Instagram at @tylermaximus to keep in touch.


With gratitude,

Our Story

function house fills a gap in the cannabis market for stylish and functional smoking accessories. Amongst the psychedelic colors, leaf prints, and cheap materials, we combine minimalist sophistication with innovative features and engineering to make truly great tools.

Tyler Lau, an industrial designer by trade, founded Function House in 2020, a few years after serving a prison sentence for cannabis in the state of Kansas. Experiencing criminal injustice as a visible minority fueled his desire to destigmatize this substance and the communities who partake.
