Anyone else seeing nothing but white?
on their Tumblr dashboard? no icons or images of any type?

Just one of the images from the library. I could spend hours flipping through this archive.
Symbol Audio Modern Record Console by Blake Tovin & Matt Richmond
The all-in-one hifi is back and in a big way! I’ve been waiting for someone to create a re-introduction to the record console since vinyl’s re-surge, but never expected it to be from one of my fellow classmates. Matt and I both went to SIUC where we studied Industrial Design. It is nice to see him carving a serious name for himself as a designer. (I am also just now learning that Matt designed the iVictrola )
The MRC is just one of three products launched this past week at ICFF by Symbol Audio, along with the Tabletop Hifi and LP Storage Cabinet. An impressive start to say the least. Considering I have already seen the above mentioned items plastered all over the blogging world, I would say they are off to a good start! I’ll be saving my money starting now, for one of everything please.
Best of luck to you Matt & Blake and I’m sure you will do well!
Private Residence by Lake | Flato Architects
I love this house for so many reasons. Especially how you can see inspiration drawn from several types of architecture, and how they were combined is special. A little MCM, Post Modernism & Minimalism, and a tiny bit of southwestern style thrown in (note the giant stucco fireplace).
REACTOR FYI (for your inspiration): We are hiring a Designer of Champions
REACTOR Design Studio is hiring a mid-level designer.
Do you want to work at the World Headquarters of Awesome? If you have around 1-4 years experience as a designer and have a brilliant personality, then you may be the right fit.
We have an immediate opening for the world’s best designer,…
If you live in KC and are a Graphic Designer, trust me, you want to go work with these awesome people! Nicest group of folks and they like to have fun, eat tacos, draw crazy stuff and they have an awesome studio to boot!
Villa Lola by Arkis
A stunning modern cabin in Iceland, plopped down on an equally minimal piece of land with amazing views. I love the weathered wood used for siding.
I’m a little behind on blogging this week. It has been one of those weeks!
The only thing I have for you is a print I recently finished for the awesome folks over at Wheatpaste Art Collective. A 30” x 24” canvas print of hand drawn letters on wood grain.
Have a good weekend!
Adrian Pearsall House
Yet another MCM designer’s house up for sale! Pearsall was responsible for starting Craft Associates which built endless amounts of custom furniture. His pieces are highly sought after but easy to find through various sources. He is the designer of the house as a trained Architect, and the only owner until now.
I spent entirely too much time yesterday scouring the internet to ultimately confirm a chair I had bought a few years ago was indeed a Pearsall (awesome for me!).
Anyway, here is the listing. Here is background info on Adrian and Craft.
Rufus Wainwright / Out of the Game
Jules Gregory House
The home built for himself is up for sale (has been for a long time) for $1.25 million in Lambertville, NJ. One of the more amazing MCM homes I have seen with a double conoid roof (the arch on one side is the valley on the opposite) that seems to float above the house. The current owner bought it sight unseen, as I would if I had the money right now. Built in 1961 and labeled by Architectural Digest as one of America’s 10 best homes. Constructed for $30,000 at the time. And I cannot forget to mention all of the furniture and lighting designed and built by George Nakashima.
You can view the listing here. Also make sure to look at the original photos from AD here.
