San Diego House / A. Quincy Jones
This weekend I went to an open house in Ramona for an A. Quincy Jones home that's for sale. It was hosted by Keith York of Modern San Diego. You might be asking yourself, how did an A. Quincy Jones house land in a small rural community like Ramona?
The house was commissioned by Everett and Elrena Warnes through Cal-Sun Building Co.
In 1948, A.C. Hvistendahl asked A. Quincy Jones to design an exhibition house to meet the need Hvistendahl saw for low-cost contemporary housing in San Diego.
The prototype was a wood post and beam 1,000 square feet home with 2 bedrooms. It's known as the "San Diego" house.
The concept won an AIA award for Builder's House of the Year. After seeing this article, Joseph Eichler contacted Jones and they made thousands of homes together.

As of 1950, 28 "San Diego" houses had been built. It's unclear exactly how many were built in total. Keith has a list of the ones that are known in San…

Heath / Tung Chiang
Design Series Six: Growing Small
Every year Heath Clay Studio Director, Tung Chiang designs and produces a series of work based on a theme. This year, it's small objects "cast and formed by hand, for treasuring in the hand".
"Extracted from molds in basic form, pieces are hand-altered and individually enhanced, resulting in a collection of related, yet one-of-a-kind objects that celebrate the skillful art of mold-making, while questioning the boundary between one-offs and editions."
September 22–28: Show on view at Heath SF, during showroom hours September 28: Show opens for sale September 28: Artist talk by Tung Chiang from 5–6 pm
More information here.
As you can see, Tung is insanely talented.
This bottle kills me!
In addition to creating a line of 125 small sculptures in clay, Tung designed flatware for Heath.
It was hand-tooled and crafted in New York by Sherrill Manufacturing. Sherril is the only company still producing flatware in the United States.
