beet of my heart: 3 root grex from alan kapuler

By Adam Spargo - Last updated: Sunday, January 22, 2012

thank you west elm.

By Jayden Thyer - Last updated: Monday, January 16, 2012

if yall have received your west elm catalog in the mail this month, you may have noticed some familiar faces and spaces. lucy and i are featured in the current west elm catalog (and their blog front main) and she looks great as always damn that girl! the lovely folks at west elm came over for the day, asked me to style up the place and show off my parsons desk. then, they shot a little behind the scenes.

By Adam Spargo - Last updated: Sunday, January 15, 2012

The earth friendly company Livinglass was founded on the basis of a number of influences and inspirations. This unique design company was developed by Mike Skura and Rachel Hoffman who after 15 years in the design industry noticed the need to freshen up the use of quality materials that could be versatile.

100% recycled glass and resin from the ‘Light’ collection!

It all started by experimenting with forming a laminated glass sandwich using only natural materials.
