Pump Up The Volume
*
The boys at Volume Inc.–Adam Brodsley, Eric Heiman and Zulu,
are old friends from San Francisco.
We love them and their work is wonderful too.


Their design work for the Academy of Sciences
made complex ideas, accessible.
This isn’t easy.

Other clients include: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Flora Grubb, Southern Exposure, Heath Ceramics, Chronicle Books, and McSweeney’s.
Read this just-published article about them here.

San Francisco based photographer, Leslie Williamson, didn’t quite set out to make a book.
She just wanted to see inside the homes of designers and artists she admires.

Lucky for us, we’ll get to peek inside their homes too–as her inevitable book,
“Handcrafted Modern: At Home with Mid-century Designers,” will be published by Rizzoli in October.
Until then, I’ll be savoring images like these in her daily posts here.


Can you guess whose homes these are?

Bow Ties Make Me Smile

Shauna Alterio and Stephen Loidolt (of Something’s Hiding in Here) have created a neckwear collection called, “Forage”, based on the sartorial habits of their favorite designers like Charles Eames and Louis Kahn.
Bay Area People:
Forage is available at Curiosity Shoppe on Valencia, starting Friday July 27th.
Please go. I dare you not to smile.

Once in a while, I find something that’s so beautiful it hurts a little.
Today, it’s this work by Caroline Slotte.
Something created, from something broken.
