Happy Friday everyone.

Monday Music. Michael Kiwanuka: Tell me a tale

Here are a few treasures I found while at the Alameda Flea Market with a couple friends last weekend: antique mail slots and fish-shaped hooks, and a giant classroom-sized slide rule. As well as antique glass glitter and a fantastic dress from Brazil that will make its debut at this year’s Burning Man.

Drawing in progress. Good to be working with graphite again.

New Music Monday. The 1975.

Beautiful video of an amazing installation by one of my heroes….

“I can remember the feeling of swinging—how hard we would work for those split seconds, flung at furthest extension, just before the inevitable downward and backward pull, when we felt momentarily free of gravity, a little hiccup of suspension when our hands loosened on the chain and our torsos raised off the seat. We were sailing, so inside the motion—time stopped—and then suddenly rushed again toward us. We would line up on the playground and try to touch the sky, alone together.” – Ann Hamilton, the event of a thread

Cornelius - Tone Twilight Zone

I remember seeing photos of D’espresso in NY when they first opened, and I still think it’s great. Gives me ideas for a bookcase…

Found in Volcano, HI

Center for Sustainable Energy Technologies in Ningbo, China by Mario Cucinella Architects.

I would love to see what the interior looks like.

This may be my favorite new Icelandic band. Here’s Snorri and Silla Helgason playing a little live show.

Here’s a recent FLOR installation I helped with for the Lyft office in San Francisco. The carpet makes the lounge feel more comfy, and the yellow zig-zag border follows the natural foot traffic at the office entrance. I love the extra functionality of the yellow square in the center as a place for new drivers to stand and have their photos taken!

A recent art installation featuring close-up dragonfly photos I took this summer.

And this one! Also from Madeline Weinrib.
