meet at the apartment at 101 crosby street in new york city, the site of our former retail design store and subsequent agency, is the inaugural location in a collection of state-of-the-art creative meeting spaces launching around the world over the next five years (london and Dubai are currently in the planning stages). meet is a collaboration between us and new york based marketing agency, electric artists who is an equity partner in meet along with sara and marc schiller, founders of the wooster collective. quite a team, uh?

we've been working on this for a while and the basic concept is that people, everyday, need inspiration. in our 10 year-old experience, nobody moreso than companies whose wheels are often so slow to turn that they lose sight of the goals, creative and otherwise, that set them on their mission to begin with. and that's why we're here, to provide a newly-designed space as a new riff on the idea of the blank canvas to wake up the corporations in question and a community to get them inspired again.

MWM X Maxalot Collection





Over the summer I worked with MAXALOT from Amsterdam on a mega-wallpaper collection. The series is now available for order online and in their new catalog. These guys take custom interiors to the next level. It is an honor to be a part of their new line! For this series we went with monochromatic palettes that will blend well with contemporary homes and modern architecture. It is also possible to customize these designs for specific environments and color palettes. MWM X Maxalot Collection.

Gabriel Urist for Barack Obama Pendants




Renowned jeweler Gabriel Urist, known for his sneaker- and NBA-inspired jewelry pieces, has designed this pendant to show his support for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. The pendants reproduce Obama’s campaign logo in silver, and come on a bright red band. Definitely not in Urist’s typical style, these have a beautiful handmade look to them, and will probably be released in limited numbers. Even if you aren’t able to get one of these for yourself, remember to educate yourselves and vote in the upcoming election.
