Payments Company Square Makes Its Second Acquisition; Buys Design Firm 80/20, Opens New York Office

After raising $200 million in new funding, payments company Square is spending some of this cash on an acquisition. Square has purchased New York-based design firm 80/20. The acquisition was first reported in the New York Times. As the company writes on its website, "At 80/20, we?ve been fortunate to work on amazing products and platforms. In every project, we?ve started with the belief that the best design gets out of the user?s way and that you can craft unforgettable user experiences by keeping things simple and obsessing over the details. That?s why we?re thrilled to announce that we?re joining Square...Together, we will reimagine and redesign how people communicate through commerce everyday, all around the world."
