Field Report: Every product tells a story: Droog design

Last month I spent a couple weeks traveling around The Netherlands and Germany as part of the film crew, shooting a great band from Idaho.

Touring Tacoma

Last Friday the DK crew woke up early, rented a Flexcar, and headed south for a goodwill tour of Tacoma.

It’s those connections that Design Kompany really loves. Last Friday’s show was a launching point […]

Paper stars

We are decorated and ready to go. Gallery 1508.5 looks refreshed and festive. We spent most of Wednesday evening cutting out stars from paper and cardboard. We hung the paper ones from the ceiling and painted the cardboard stars white.
The large photos adorn our walls and I stood on ladders adjusting lights so they pointed […]
