Giant Concrete Helvetica Sign
03.21.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI’ve seen these signs a few times and today got a chance to experience them up close. They aren’t far from my house, in the South East corner of San Francisco. Very cool. I think Sacha liked them as much as I did (probably for different reasons). I wonder when they were put in? How […]

Great review of Danish Pepper book
The Canadian design blog Kitka Design Toronto posted a very nice review of my book, Danish Pepper. You can read it here: http://kitkadesigntoronto.com/?p=917 I did a little reading of the blog and there are lots of great articles on Modern Design and the joy of collecting design items. They also have some cool profiles of […]

Palm Springs Modern Hike
One of the most amazing homes in Palm Springs is the Bob Hope house. Perched like a giant turtle on an exclusive hill above Palm Springs, the house by John Lautner – built in the 70s – can be seen for miles around. It really captures the imagination. Unfortunately, it is at the top of […]

Kaufmann House – Palm Springs
I go to Palm Springs every Thanksgiving with the whole family to visit my grandfather and enjoy the sun. The trip for me always entails a day of enjoying the modern architecture and some modern shopping. My very favorite house (and I’m hardly alone in this assessment) is Neutra’s 1946 Kaufmann House. I try to […]

O So Modern
The Dansk website says that the new Fjord Classic flatware is featured in Oprah’s Magazine, so I picked up a copy at the drug store the other day to learn more about it. I picked up “O at Home” by accident, not even knowing that there was a difference, and was astounded at the amount […]

Murphy Bar DIY
An article I wrote for Ready Made magazine a while back is now online. You can find it here. I think this is a new addition to the site, although it may have been there earlier. By the way, that’s not me in the photo, but that is my house. They are also selling blueprints […]

CB2 for you
I popped into the new CB2 store in San Francisco last weekend. It’s Crate & Barrel’s new little brother, and it was really interesting. It was kind of a combination of Ikea, Crate & Barrel, and Design Within Reach. It had amazingly low prices, lots of very colorful homewares and accessories, and furniture. There was […]

Aalto Garage Sale Score
Another weekend, another garage sale score. As I was running errands before running off to Sonoma for the weekend, I couldn’t help but stop by a garage sale in the ‘hood. There was an old plywood table and a quick glance under it confirmed my suspicions: Alvar Aalto. After a quick “How much” and then […]

New book on Danish Modern
There’s a new book out on Danish Modern, and it’s called Danish Modern. I haven’t yet seen it, but it looks pretty good. Don’t know if it talks about Quistgaard or Dansk at all. The book includes photographic surveys of Danish Modern furniture in homes across the Unites States; a market guide with tips, facts […]

Good-bye, Rare Woods Guitar
08.04.08 | Permalink | 12 CommentsA long time ago, before I even knew who Charles Eames (let alone JHQ) was, I had a guitar made for me by a college friend, Jake Savin. In a example of temporally disjoined hobby convergence, the woods we chose to use were the same woods used by JHQ in his rare woods series for […]
