First experienced the wonder that is @thistylerhays & @mcrowcompany in Lostine, Oregon in Feb 2016 thanks to @greghennes @thejenningshotel. Never imagined I’d end up testing out his handmade electric guitar, tube amp, and loudspeaker in Milan, Italy @bddw_etc during @fuorisalone. Moral of the story, if you’re thousands of miles from home and it’s a few blocks away, just go. (at BDDW) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZ0BwVADxD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oq5j7fw072sr

Can’t stop thinking about #Formations: a Milan Design Week exhibition presented by floor/wall covering material manufacturer @tarkett_sverige with furniture manufacturer @magis_official (& @eeroaarnio_ 🐶) and designed by @notedesignstudio 👏👏👏👏👏 (at Circolo Filologico Milanese) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRgvQABzed/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1094r3y8v8pkd

Unearthing #thenextdig: Air Manchego 1 rosso marble cheeseboard 🔪🧀✔️ The waterjet blasts through the brittle 3/4” marble slab like butter. Removing each shape by hand takes precision and patience. 💦🕳🔍🧱 #airmanchego 1 is on view all month in The Next Dig group show at @onegrandgallery as part of @designweekpdx 🌹 (at One Grand Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDO_bRBqg_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cb9ebkw108w2

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported last night!! 🙇🏻‍♂️ Unearthing #thenextdig: @milktoothpaste pulled out the angle grinder so we could wet-polish the Air Manchego 1 carrera marble cheeseboard to a smooth stone finish. It definitely did (not) not jump right out of my hands. 💪🙃 Check out Air Manchego 1 all month @onegrandgallery alongside great work by @lauradashwade @k_g_hunter @elizabethfmoran @aleksandrapollner as part of @designweekpdx ⚒ (at One Grand Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwACc6DAFLs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iizly14tvaej
