Feels like summer

There is something about macrame that just feels like summer. Feeling inspired by this time-tested art form.

Zanini de Zanine
July 20, 2015
I had the pleasure of attending MAISON & OBJET Miami this year where Zanini de Zanine was honored as designer of the year. As the son of Brazilian designer and architect José Zanine Caldas he comes by his talent rightly. Thomas Hayes and Jeremy Petty of Noho Modern in Los Angeles offer a thoughtful reflection on how they met and worked toward his first showing in the states at their gallery back in 2009 here. I am grateful for Zanine's commitment to honor the history of Brazilian furniture design and construction in his work.

Luis Barragan
July 03, 2015
I'm headed to Mexico City tomorrow and I have a long list to see and do. Experiencing the magnificent work of architect Luis Barragan is at the top of that list.

John Lautner's Total Ideas
April 20, 2015
"So I really learned that you have to have a major total idea or it's nothing, you know; it's just an assembly. What most people do is an assembly of cliches or facades or what-have-you ..." - John Lautner
