#sr bookcase

We are so excited to be go to ICFF this year as first time exhibitors. We've been busy preparing for the show and getting all of our pieces ready to exhibit. If you are in New York from May 18 through May 21, please stop by our Booth #2352 at the Javits Convention Center!

We're always looking for ways to communicate information about our products through interesting, clear, and well designed means.  In addition to product postcards, we now have Production Tags for our made to order furniture, including the latest release of our SR Bookcase. The Production Tags allow us to provide customers with some information about their made to order Scout Regalia piece, and also helps us keep track of important information including custom color choices and finishes.  Be on the lookout for these tags with your SR Outdoor Table Set and SR Bookcase orders!

We are so excited to debut the SR Bookcase, which is the latest addition to our catalogue of products and our first venture into indoor furniture.  The SR Bookcase is currently part of "Autumn Suite", the fall show at Specific Merchandise, and is available through the Specific Merchandise online store on 1st Dibs. Made of domestic hardwood and handcrafted in Los Angeles, the SR Bookcase is made to order and available as a 1, 2 or 3 bay system.  Each bookcase is hand finished with low gloss, non toxic wood sealer and paints in your choice of 210 custom colors.  Standing 7'-8" tall, the SR Bookcase will surely be a signature piece in any living space or office. Check out the SR Bookcase in person over at Specific Merchandise through October 2nd.  Lots of amazing new work from a variety of talented designers on display as well!

Our friends over at Winter Session recently launched a series of sewn products all designed and hand made in Chicago.  We love the work they make, and their impeccable attention to every stitching detail is outstanding. We were especially fond of their Ticking Apron, a work apron that is durable, functional, and of course timelessly good looking.  Each apron is custom made to suit your needs, whether you're a leftie or rightie, or prefer to access your pencils and tools in one or multiple pockets.  The neck strap is adjustable so you can really fit your apron as you like it.  The apron was perfect this weekend as we worked on the finishing details of the SR Bookcase, which will be featured in the upcoming Fall show "Autumn Suite" over at Specific Merchandise. You can find out more about the Ticking Apron and their other products on their website.

The magical world of XANADU is right here in Los Angeles!  The holiday show at Specific Merchandise brings together nearly 50 designers and artists for the largest exhibit yet at the gallery storefront.  Curator and owner Brooks Hudson Thomas has done an amazing job bringing together so many talented designers for the show.  The space looks amazing, and we hope all of our friends in Los Angeles have a chance to check it out. We are super excited that our entire line of Scout Regalia products is part of this show (!!!).  To display our SR Wall Pockets, we built a 15' tall "pennant" with over 200 hanging wall pockets.  In addition,  the show includes the SR Outdoor Table Set, garden kits, and our latest product, the SR Bookcase.  The show also features work from our friends at design,bitches, todosomething, Von Tundra, WELCOME, Winter Session, artist Morgan Maclean, and some amazing handmade shoes by Dragan Mrdja. More information about the show is available here, and more pics of the installation of the wall pocket pennant are on our flickr feed.

The SR Bookcase travelled out to Joshua Tree this past weekend to be part of the Specific Apartment installation at the High Desert Test Sites Headquarters in Downtown Joshua Tree.  We were thrilled to be part of the show with so many talented designers and artists.  We've spent plenty of time in Joshua Tree National Park but not a lot of time in Downtown JT, so it was a real treat to check out all the nice little stores and restaurants including the Mt. Fuji General Store and Crossroads Cafe. The weekend was full of events featuring the work of Portland based design trio Von Tundra.  Part of the weekend included brunch at A-Z West on tables and chairs designed and built by Von Tundra from wood pallets, along with a workshop to design/build a shade canopy from a collection of colorful vintage fabrics.  We love the work they are up to and the ethos by which they run their business.  Check out more of Von Tundra's work on their website, and in person starting this weekend at the Specific Merchandise storefront in Los Angeles, through November 6th. More pics from our weekend in Joshua Tree are on our flickr page.

We've made a conscious decision to embrace the function and aesthetics of wood knobs for the cabinets of our bookcase.  There's something both timeless and simple about using a wood knob that seems fitting for the aesthetic and ethos of the bookcase in particular and our office as a whole.  A lot of people ask us what "Scout Regalia" means.  The short answer is that it can be translated as "humble ornament"- an homage to finding the splendor in something austere and simple.  We think the knobs are a good representation of that.
