John King last wrote for Dwell on suburban urbanism, a far cry Hugh Ferriss’s world of sky-scraping charcoal forms. Currently the San Francisco Chronicle’s urban design critic, King first encountered Farriss’s atmospheric imagery in the 1980s, when its sky’s-the-limit ethos seemed more archaic than it does today.

John Lautner is one of the best known among modernist architects who worked in southern California in the mid-20th century. Born in 1911, Lautner spent six years studying at Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin school, Taliesin, where he worked with some of the great architects a generation older than he. Lautner had early commercial success in Los Angeles in the 1950s but he gained greater professional respect for his residential work. He was the architect of the Chemosphere—the towering, futuristic Los Angeles home owned by book publishing house founder Benedikt Taschen. Lautner died in 1994.

I am John Lioe and I am the founder/industrial designer of LIOE Design. We’re a Seattle based company started in 2013, I have worked with some of the most innovative companies including New Deal Design, Tovolo and Ironclad. Our goal here at LIOE Design is to make everyday products extraordinary and bring to life designs that will push the idea of what the ordinary products could be. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel we just want to make the wheel more kick a**! Our mission is to Design Everything! All the products we create are well thought out, we take into consideration the functionality, aesthetic, material, and the "cool factor" of every design. We never put out a product that we don’t love and isn’t high quality. We're a small company with big dreams so thank you for taking the time to visit us and hopefully you enjoy using our product as much as we do designing them!

Good people, humor, ideas, design and the outdoors and indoors
