picture pages, picture pages

it's time to get your plants and
your pencils.

and

your rare books


and your store bought cakes.

we're doing a fun photo shoot
with new fall/winter colors
for our online shop.

taking a photo of each
unique mini-pedestal
can be daunting.

but cupcakes and the bbc
make it far more tolerable.

these powder coated steel
and bent pressed beech plywood
chairs and tables

i think i&m and vg&p
should be design friends.

JOIN's Design Shoppe Call for Submissions






JOIN: Design Seattle is planning a one day pre-holiday Pop-Up shop and we are looking for design objects to include. We are focusing on designers from the Pacific Northwest, but we've never been known to be exclusive, so you are free to interpret Pacific Northwest loosely. If you live here, lived here, visited here, aunt lived here in the 60's... you're welcome to apply!

The Details:
DATE: Saturday November 28th (one night only)
TIME: 7pm - 11pm
WHERE: Vermillion Art + Wine - 1508 11th Ave btwn Pike and Pine - Seattle, WA 98122
OTHER: In addition to the Pop-Up, there will be a Silent Auction to benefit JOIN and Nest Seattle. The sale and auction are cash and carry, no credit cards will be accepted. We will have dedicated "cashiers" to handle all transactions. In other words, you don't have to "man a booth," you can enjoy yourself. :)

TO SUBMIT:
Objects should fall into the following categories: table top, lighting, accessories, jewelry, soft goods. No furniture will be accepted.

Objects must be priced under $100 retail.

Please send submissions to info@joinDesignSeattle.com with the following:

Designer name
Name of piece
Material(s)

this was last night

chelsea from grain
came over to the studio last night.


loc helped her with a walnut project she's working on.

but, mostly, she did everything her self.

and she brought us some lovely homemade bread
and home brewed (is the the right word?)
limoncello.

the bread is beautiful.
rosemary and salt crusted.
i'd show you the loaf, but i already ate mine.
hee.


mies is over it.

ps

i want this sofa:






sense of completion

we're almost ready to ship out the second batch of frame lights
to a client in brooklyn.






who knew 5' tall rolls of bubble wrap could be SO fun?

dan webb

i just found dan webb
through a friend's suggestion for a show we are planning



and i like.



webb is a seattle based artist and is represented by greg kucera gallery. more of his work here.
