Tres Birds Biopsy by Analog Design Studio
“I believe through creativity and design we can make anything beautiful. Beauty isn’t the material sitting fallow in a warehouse somewhere. The beauty is when you start using repetition, and function, and purpose, and light and shadow”…”giving new life to these materials and give them a reason to be in this world again,… and that energy you feel when you’re in the spaces, and its very positive, and it feels progressive and it feels right to me.” ~ Mike Moore
In launching a new direction for my design firm, Analog Design Studio, we collaborated with Mike Moore to create a video that would help express his firm’s message while crafting our visual language in the medium of film. We have put a lot of creative passion into creating this biopsy of Tres Birds Workshop. The documentary uncovers the passion and desire of their firm to create beautiful spaces and experiences through the reuse of objects to create healthy desirable spaces that take on a new life while expressing the past. The workshop explains their use of light, materials, and function making their work both contemporary and timeless. We hope you love this piece as much as we do, enjoy!

Time-Lapse of Manhattan | by Mindrelic
Time-lapse video has definitely been overdone and when done well still struggles to keep one’s attention. While Mindrelic’s video of Manhattan can lose you at points, I feel it is overall well done and entertaining. The use of panning, crane shots and car mounts really takes the normal time-lapse shot to another level of depth. Using the busy subject of Manhattan is a no-brainer, but the quality and quantity of shots throughout the city really steals the show. I look forward to seeing where Mindrelic’s next video will take us. Meanwhile, enjoy!

Designer Friday: Heavy Inspiration – SUNO
I couldn’t be more inspired by SUNO, One of my latest obsessions, and a company that I truly strives to model my own production practices after.
At first glance, the textiles blow you away. The textures, colors, and silhouettes of the pieces are a design dream, one that could only subtly dance around in my head but to truly conceptualize such an equally harmonious and chaotic view is that of sheer genius.
As I gather my jaw from the floor I remind my self that design is only a fraction of what makes up a company and when I think of SUNO, it’s their production practices in Kenya (and an obvious source of pattern inspiration) that I envy as much as I do the designs.
The majority of the collection is produced in Kenya with tailors who, although already quite skilled, also receive regular training by expert tailors brought in by SUNO. SUNO’s dedication to developing a sustainable and socially responsible business is not limited to our work in Kenya. Currently we do at least 70% of our production in Kenya, all our beaded and embroidered work happens in India, and we also produce a handful of pieces in NYC with our sample factory in the garment district.
As I return from my trip to Bogotá Columbia this week, Keeping these practices in mind is as important as it is to be sustainable and produce locally, as it’s of equal importance to practice supporting and influencing industries outside of our realm…after all, the design world is forever referencing the artesian crafts available around the globe, why not support them, rather than rip them off??
