CAPITAL ONE LAB by STUDIO O+A



Another colorful office project...

Pretty forward for a bank which develops apps for easy and effective interface with Capital One’s online customers, which wanted their space to reflect the wide open spirit of their team. 
Capital One Labs is essentially a design studio, and the people who work there wanted it to look like one. They didn’t want to drape it in banker’s gray.

CRYSTALS AND LASERS by Matt W Moore

Matt W. Moore works to the credo of ‘range is conducive to growth.’ Like many artists of his generation, Matt’s background
was in action board sports and the action art of graffiti, each with their core value of speed, do-it-yourself ethic, enthusiasm 
for new terrain, and sheer fun of collaboration. Over the past decade, he’s applied those principles to his bold, graphic 
aesthetic in media both analog and digital, for projects both personal and commercial.

THREAD DRAWINGS by Anne Lindberg


Thousands of  vertical threads. Funny thing is none of those lines – whether drawn or created with thread – ever meet or intersect one another.
Lindberg’s process-intensive pieces are minor monuments to control, elegance, and more than a little patience on the part of their creator.

PERSIAN COWHIDE RUG



The Persian cowhide is unlike any cowhide you have ever seen.  It's from a very exotic breed of beast that lives in the fantasy world of designers Young & Battaglia. The piece is a playful and unexpected marriage between two of the most iconic rugs in the world. The meticulous and geometric Persian carpet is seamlessly combined with the natural irregularity of an animal skin rug. The design is made possible by digitally printing on to a special fabric backed rubber which is the hand cut in to its final hide shape. Unlike real cowhides this one is hypo-allergenic, washable, non-slip, and will not curl up at the edges. A fusion between art and utility, this rug will add a beautifully surreal touch to any interior.
