Flying Architecture. Brunei. Design Store(y): March. Design Store(y) heads to the West Coast this week, landing in San Francisco’s Laurel Heights neighborhood to tour March.
Proprietor Sam Hamilton, who worked at Ralph Lauren before opening the shop back in 2002, recently relaunched her business, with a whole new twist. Focusing on the kitchen, pantry, and table, Hamilton presents hand hewn items with a modern sensibility, in addition to solid classics like AGA and cast iron cookware. Hamilton derives her inspiration from the slow food movement and San Francisco food culture. It’s a fresh concept for a decor boutique, and impeccably executed. Are you a San Francisco native? I’m from New York City; I moved here for love. Where did you get the name for the store?
My given name is Margaret and my collaborator from the early days is Mark, my last name is Hamilton and his is Cunningham and my wife’s last name is Chaiken so it’s kind of a combo of all these elements. You recently re-thought the store’s concept. Do you have a food background? Office / Contract furniture. AGAL. Crystal Foldscapes - Create. Recyclable FoldScape can be recycled again to make new paper products of similar quality, avoiding once again the landfill.
Existing recycling infrastructures for collecting and re-using cardboard are fairly common which makes it easy for our customers to close the recycling loop, save trees, save energy, and have an impact. Renewable This product is made from wood fibers, so the raw material is a renewable resource. Because the forests from which the paper is made are responsibly harvested and managed, they are replenished with minimal impact on the environment. Recycled Content The fiber content of the FoldScape is collected from manufacturers of paper products (pre-consumer waste) and paper collected from homes and offices through recycling programs (post-consumer waste).
Design FoldScape Tiles are designed as modules to give customers the ability to selectively use, replace and recycle them. Origin Made in the United States. Fulford: Ai Weiwei has it. Everything about Ai Weiwei sets him apart.
Artists often criticize dictatorships, but Ai is the first visual artist in history who functions as his nation’s most broad-ranging and effective critic of government. When he’s not campaigning for human rights he’s exposing what he calls “tofu buildings,” structures made by corrupt contractors that collapse and kill their inhabitants. Among artists he’s spectacularly versatile, an architect as well as a sculptor, a skilful photographer, a brilliant conceptual artist. He’s an entrepreneur, a salesman and sometimes a manager of large creative teams. When the police insist he remain in Beijing, he still attends international meetings by Skype — as he did for his collaboration with the Swiss architects, Herzog & de Meuron, on the Serpentine Gallery pavilion that opened in London last week.
So when it emerged last year that Ai is also a champion blackjack player, we shouldn’t have been surprised. ModHaus - Large Wreathed Leaf Garland Mirror in the Style of Serge Roche.
