Back in May we attended the Highlands Eichler Home Tour in San Mateo. The featured limited art print by Brooke Deane was showcased at the tour. We can’t help but pleasantly notice the young couple surrounded by an Eames Lounge Chair, Noguchi Table, and Jacobsen Egg Chair. It reminds us that these historic homes native to the San Francisco Bay Area are like jewelry boxes that hold some of the most precious pieces of mid-century modern furniture. If you love Eichlers or perhaps you live in one, come and see us. As enthusiasts we’d love to know what’s in your jewelry box!
Here's a really inspiring documentary about one of the greatest contemporary architects. Unconventional and thought provoking creativity, the Sketches of Frank Gehry shows us how “scribbled” concepts turn into unimaginable grand structures. We're no Frank Gehry but what we do also requires us to use our imaginations through cardboard models and sketches. Visionary designer, Gari Camaisa, developed Tapiceria for designers and architects alike to incubate their ideas and let their imaginations roam free with no judgements; only solutions. Gari's approach to design is organic, thoughtful, and open-minded. Respecting traditional design principles yet challenging convention is the "sweet spot" for Gari and Tapiceria.
