Studio love/envy

If you haven't heard of the amazing blog Oh Joy, then you haven't ever looked at my 'link love' list, because I've been visiting this lovely space for years now. Joy has a wonderfully modern aesthetic that brings in bright colors in subtle but dynamic ways. Kinda like a white business card with neon pink edge painting. She is also really great at embracing the feminine, which is something I love to celebrate. While following a career path in graphic and product design, she contributed to her blog and grew a large audience which eventually led to design collaborations and several books. Long story short she is definitely someone in the industry I admire. After 8 years of working at home she has secured a studio space in LA and with the help of stylist Emily Henderson and interior designer Samantha Gluck, transformed it into a design studio CandyLand. I can't stop staring at these photos! In serious awe of these talented ladies!

Designer spotlight: Elastico

I saw Elodie Blanchard's company Elastico at this years ICFF back in May. I immediately enjoyed her aesthetic, and products, but was mostly impressed with her presentation. Process was a topic that was really stressed in design school, and I think it's awesome that she posts her's right on her website. From concept to realization, check out her textiles and installations here.

Photographer spotlight: Mark Eden Schooley

More white on white love, for these beautiful images from the website of Paris based photographer Mark Eden Schooley. I'm so impressed with photographers that work consistently from a certain color palette, no matter what the subject.

Designer Spotlight: Samantha Robinson

I recently discovered the work of Samantha Robinson. Her vessels encourage my love of white on white patterns. Although she has some lovely colored patterns on porcelain too.
