It’s an honor to participate in this upcoming show January 17th at BLAH. Hope to see you there!
If we could have taken you with us in our pockets to Venice, we might have taken you to this exhibit: Japanese Graphic Design, 100 Posters 2001-2010. We happened upon this excellent little exhibit tucked away in St. Mark’s Gallery, amongst the Architecture Biennale going on throughout the city.

Hosted by the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation, the exhibit included 100 Japanese advertising posters, selected from amongst the thousands of works submitted each year for the most prestigious awards. These 100 were selected by a committee made up of two contemporary masters of graphic art, Kazumasa Nagai and Shin Matsunaga, in collaboration with the International Hokusai Research Centre.
Here’s a few shots of the 100:







Thanks for joining us for Current: an exhibition of hand-crafted design at The Bakery, featuring Black Whale, a fantastical knitted lighting installation by Korean designer Kwangho Lee, with mercantile, a pop up shop showcasing design objects by 9 American designers. We’d like to extend a monstrous thank you to all of the individuals and organizations that support us in bringing these types of events to San Diego. Take a gander here at some of our first photos of the event. Also stay tuned for Black Whale‘s reappearance this fall… and don’t be a stranger of course!
With Current right around the corner, the transformation of the fabrication studio here at The Bakery has begun. On September 3-5 we present mercantile, an impromptu pop up shop featuring hand-crafted works by 9 American designers and artists. It’s an opportunity for this multi-discipline group to unveil limited runs of their latest experiments. Here’s a sneak peek of the items that are rolling in (more here!)
