Materiality
Yes to built graphics!
We see poetry in cut metal, where light filters through.
We feel the warmth of routed wood that invites the eye to wander. Sometimes texture is the color.
We trust the quiet weight of sandblasted concrete to ground a place in memory. We find shimmer in brass inlays, where small gestures gleam.
Fabric makes typography flow. Textured foil and cut vinyl provide subtle depth and glow.
We celebrate the hardiness of powder-coated steel and the delicacy of screenprinted ink.
We work in concert with kiln-fired aluminum and glass mosaic, where craft and story endure.
Material has meaning. What’s made is felt.
We’re always on the lookout for new ways to embrace materials. On our wish list: etched and colored glass, tapestries of breeze block, custom-tile patterns, graphic tree grates, drains and manhole covers, and bold crosswalk stencils.
