So incredibly proud of our latest group show, Make Use. In partnership with JOIN Design and Rejuvenation we conceived, designed, curated, executed and participated in this group show which debuted at ICFF in New York during NYCxDesign.
Make Use is a collection of objects for the home from 14 West Coast-based studios that celebrate the marriage of materiality and process, craft and purpose, form and function. This curated show highlights the independent design community; encouraging experimentation, blurring of boundaries and supporting emerging creative talent. This selection of objects showcase the raw honesty, simple straightforwardness, and beauty in utility associated with West Coast Craftsmanship.

Our submission:
Wedge Weight
A placeholder, a paper weight, and a desktop sculpture that combines the substantial weight of brass with a simple and intuitive shape. As the polished brass ages with time, it becomes as personal and endearing as your favorite well-read book.
