New Oversize Prints!

Sometimes bigger is better. In the past we were restricted to printing only 34" x 46" prints but we now have the capability to make and mount prints up to 60" x 100". The giant sepia-toned 1929 image of Los Angeles City Hall is printed with UV stable pigmented inks, mounted, laminated and sells as shown for only $875. You can also get any of our other images printed large like this.

Frank Lloyd Wright

No true modernist can get through the day without being influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. And can that man make a drawing......



I don't care what the floor plan looks like, Ill live in anything that he designed. In my mind, this is one of the most compelling reasons to visit Chicago and the surrounding areas.

One of my favorite quotes of his (and don't get me wrong, I respect Dorthy Draper and really like her work) is when he called Ms. Draper an "inferior desecrator". Maybe I'm reading into it but it seems to me like FLR had a little ego, was perhaps a little bit of a professional misogynist or maybe just a stubborn designer who felt he knew what was best for everyone. It just sums up all the "glamour" of the design world doesn't it?

I heart 3D Modeling of furniture

dff

Good CAD software has always been something I have sacrificed when I gave up my PC to become an all Apple household in 1996. It's been a long wait but I don't feel I'm making a sacrifice any more. Google acquired a company called @last software and has continued to improve the sketch-up modeling software. This software removes so many tedious communication barriers with clients and manufacturers that I cant say enough good things about it. And if you want, you can even model your own house and upload it to Google Earth.

Robsjohn-Gibbings Walnut Slipper Chairs

This man is the master of taking everything good about the past and making it even better. Seriously, a moment of silence for our favorite English designer. Deco on its way to austere modernism.....thanks dude with three last names.
