Designer Crush: Guggenheim Architecture + Design Studio
We have a forever crush on Guggenheim Architecture + Design Studio and their design philosophy:
Our portfolio of interiors work leans heavily toward a modern sensibility, with highly edited spaces and very selective procurement of high-quality pieces. We work very hard to ensure that all of our projects have that feeling of handmadeness and craft. It's important to us that we reduce our contribution toward mass production and heavily rely on short-run goods and handcrafted details to make our projects shine.

We love a good stripe, but it's hard to find a textural version that doesn't go too traditional. This Nickey Kehoe chair needed something that felt at home in this casual coastal home and Sur gave us the opportunity to create tailored softness.

This coastal home gave us the opportunity to layer the kitchen, living, and dining in two distinct zones. We knew the storage ottoman (usually full of grandkids' LEGOs) needed a bold pattern with simple detailing. We always look to hierarchy to guide us when choosing upholstery- if there is too much competition between pieces you end up losing balance. Takamaka gave us simplicity while maintaining the large-scale distinct pattern we were looking for.

This attic apartment in a sprawling NW Portland Victorian served us with all sorts of angular challenges and opportunities. We detailed the space with a host of different triangular patterns, including this previously unused space turned window seat. We love that Tribal gave us the angles we wanted without slipping into an overly geometric pattern. The weave gives that ever so soft edge, like sand blowing off a dune.
