Jakob Jørgensen works mainly with wood and likes to explore possible new expressions in what is, mildly put, a well-tested material. Jakob Jørgensen carefully ponders the issues he addresses, and once he has a clear idea he goes into his workshop, where he creates models and other experiments to develop an idea for a finished product. Jakob Jørgensen aims for objects with a sculptural expression. In his design he strives to create an expression that possesses the same depth as a work of art but which also fits naturally into everyday life as a functional object.

Bold, kinetic, and sculptural with an elegant interplay of angles and curves, Vanessa Gade's jewelry makes a contemporary statement balanced with timeless style.

Gaurav Nanda is a sculptor, designer, and entrepreneur. Growing up in Michigan, he found himself building, bending, and joining materials to give them new purpose. His early creative impulses included constructing human sculptures from wire, printing t-shirts using his homemade screen-printing machine, and throwing clay pots with vintage-modern composition. After college, Gaurav worked as a sculptor in automobile design. The practice taught him the foundations of shape and line quality. He reveled in the work but entrepreneurship was in his blood. riven by his passions for making functional yet sculptural objects, Gaurav pursued his vision for a new brand, which he called Bend.

Renzo Piano was born into a family of builders, so it’s no surprise that his studio is called the Renzo Piano Building Workshop.

Lundberg Design is a San Francisco-based twenty person architectural firm founded by Olle Lundberg in 1987 that does work for private and commercial clients throughout the United States. We specialize in high-end modern design, with no particular emphasis on any particular building type. While the core of our practice is architectural, we remain committed to providing design at many levels and are often involved in product, landscape, graphic, and sculpture design. Our signature style tends to be characterized by sculptural form, simply and elegantly executed, with a firm belief in the importance of the carefully thought out detail. We also have our own dedicated 4,000 sq. ft. metal fabrication facility for custom design work and experimentation. All of the design work is centered on the qualities of materials – how they can be plied, bent and cut to produce a visual and tactile result. We are a firm that loves the physical qualities of the objects we create. We are located in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, in a 1933 mattress factory building. It is a perfect building for the kind of firm we are – raw concrete walls and exposed timber trusses, with high volumes and enough square footage to house our architectural practice, fabrication shop, and even a work-week apartment for Olle. The practice has always been very diverse – we have designed homes, restaurants, wineries, corporate headquarters, distilleries, hotels, apartment buildings, bars, lobbies, and even San Francisco’s bus shelters. We describe our style as “nature-inspired modernism,” and we strive for elegant, simple solutions in our work. We like materials with substance – wood, stone, steel; materials with heft and texture – really the opposite of veneer. For us the making of architecture is a collaborative act; between ourselves and especially with our clients – while we aim for poetry we also pride ourselves on making buildings that work very, very well.

Ferréol Babin first studied spatial design at L’École Nationale Supérieure d’Art in his hometown of Dijon, France, but soon realized that he felt more comfortable designing at the human scale, where he could fine-tune minute details in the objects that people interact with. After a trip to study at Nagoya University of Art & Design in Japan, and a second degree in object design completed back in France at ESAD Reims, he turned his focus to lighting. “I remember fighting with a teacher because I was obsessed with lamps,” Babin says. “He told me that the Italians in the 1970s had already experimented with everything and that I should focus on something else. This exchange had the opposite effect on me, and trying to find new lighting solutions is what I enjoy the most.” For Babin, light is the element that creates a dialogue between an object and its environment. His work is sculptural, subtle, and sophisticated: “I like to imagine my lamps as silhouettes that are almost vanishing or sleeping when switched off,” Babin says. Phases, his graduation project, caught the eye of historic Italian lighting manufacturer FontanaArte, who worked with him to develop the Lunaire wall sconce. After the French company Moustache saw the Aurore lamp as a prototype at Galerie Tator in Lyon, they put it into production. And what’s next for Babin? “Lamps, always lamps!”

Steven Haulenbeek is a Michigan native and has been interested in the visual arts since a very young age. He attended Hope College in Holland, Michigan and received a BA in drawing and sculpture. Living and working in the Holland/Grand Rapids area, a hotbed of American design and furniture manufacturing (home to Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth etc.) became very powerful influence. He fell in love with the Eames’, Nelson, Saarinen, Bertoia etc. while simultaneously trying to discover his path as a sculptor. The large-scale steel sculpture work quickly turned into functional objects and he executed his first one-man show at the Holland Area Arts Council with 20 sculptural lighting pieces in 2002.

In the late 1950s, Los Angeles based designer La Gardo Tackett (1911-1992) and his family spent 16 months in Japan and, while there, met an importer from Boston and developed the "Forma" line of dinnerware for Schmid International. Inspired by his anthropological research into the cultural history of vessels used in dinnerware, Tackett designed this line of what he referred to as "autonomous" pieces, meaning that they could be used at the table or throughout the house as accessories. During the same period he also designed pieces that were later distributed by the Freeman Lederman Company. Tackett worked with European-trained ceramic engineers at the largest Ironstone factory in Japan, using machinery imported from Germany and England, to produce the exceptional quality of his stoneware pieces. The pieces possess Tackett's trademark minimal, sculptural Los Angeles design sensibility that was made popular by his work for Architectural Pottery.

Delphine Krakoff grew up in Paris, where she attended business school. Though her education was in business, it was her own interest in design that landed her jobs at the luxury houses of Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior in Paris, and later Coach and Ralph Lauren in New York. Her venture into the world of interior design came by chance, when a friend offered her the opportunity to decorate his classic Hamptons beach house. Her innate sense of style and natural French flair made the transition into the trade seamless, and led to the creation of her own interior design company in 2000. Fashion designer, acclaimed photographer, passionate collector and patron of the arts, Reed Krakoff is creative director of the Reed Krakoff Collection.

Resembling artworks more than conventional fabrics, the contemporary creations produced by the Anne Kyyrö Quinn studio are not textiles as you once knew them. Cut, sewn and finished by hand, our unique choice of luxury natural fabrics are crafted into interior textiles designed to harmonise timelessly with any setting. Each product is conceived as a gesture of simplicity, yet, we make space for bold colours, rich textures and striking motifs.
