Heath / Between Hand & Machine
Some months back I went to visit my friend Tung Chiang, Creative Lead and Studio Director at Heath Ceramics, at his amazing studio space at the Heath factory in San Francisco (see here). Apparently they've been hard at work. A show of prototypes the studio has developed was held this past weekend. They called it Between Hand & Machine.
Everything I picked up was marked sold, so it seems like the designs were well received.
Such a great collection
The NFS section

Domestic Furniture Co. / Roy McMakin
Domestic Furniture Co. catalog from 1991, when they were on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. Catalog design by Roy McMakin and Anna O'Cain.
I saw a post by Ezra Klein today that went something like this... "That 70's Show" aired in 1998 and was set in 1976. If a show was made now with the same time difference, it would be called "That 90s Show" and it would be set in 1991.
Roy McMakin was making some pretty cool furniture in the 90s.
