“I like to work with the front door open, so I get as much natural light as possible,” Jung says. “Being in LA, the weather is gorgeous pretty much everyday. I work in silence so the only thing you hear is a light breeze that comes through the entire studio."

Jung worked in various graphic design studios before realizing that she had very little interest in graphic design and even less interest in working for someone else. When she was 26, she quit her job and started the creative studio Brook&Lyn.

One of Jung biggest inspirations is color. “With the weavings,” she says, “I'm free to go wild. And the wilder I go the better they become. I start each project with a single color that I'm drawn to, then I build around it.”

Depending on the size, a weaving can take anywhere from 30 hours to three weeks to complete. “I add then subtract over and over until it's right.”

“Something about the sun filled days, lush green surroundings of our new LA home, and my new life seemed to align with weaving so perfectly, and it stuck,” Jung says. “My friends and I joke that (East) LA is the land of ceramics and fiber arts—everyone is doing it, buying it and pinning it!”

Mimi Jung graduatied from Cooper Union with a degree in Fine Art, studied graphic design in Basel, Switzerland, and worked as a print designer in Germany for a bit before moving back to the States to pursue book design full-time—“because that was the only ‘employable’ skill I had acquired.”

Smith Pavilion by Studio Weave 

The London-based architecture practice will infuse their pop-up pavilion with the history of the central London borough’s makers and builders. Constructed from fibre-cement panels, a material made by re-appropriating an old paper mill and spinning-machine, the interior will feature CNC-cut panels that will tell the story of tools and gear used by neighborhood artisans. The structure will sit across from St John’s Gate.
