Ladies and Gentlemen

Ahem.... While you may assume with this post title that I am about to make a grand announcement, I am in fact just highlighting the work of a couple of designers out of Seattle that I am loving.  I stumbled across Jean Lee's pin boards on Pinterest and found that I was in love with everything she "pinned."  It wasn't until recently that I discovered that she is the creator behind these amazing objects.  Her (and her gentleman's) new designs are modern and clean, but retain a vintage quirkiness about them.  Here is an excerpt from their blog regarding their latest projects,

        "...we've been really obsessed with the combination of copper and brass with woods and leather.  We've always been suckers for nostalgia and I think these materials really strike a reminenscent chord on a different...more fundamental level.  To that end, it only felt appropriate to pair these warm, welcoming materials with minimalist, elemental forms that celebrate the integrity of the materials without any frivolous details.  The resulting collection is a bit of a departure aesthetically from our past products, but a direction we're really excited about!"

Please pop over and visit the Ladies and Gentlemen shop and check out some of their wonderful work.

Design Prone beginings.

This is the start of a creative journey through the world of design (and other life happenings). I have blogged in the past about interesting design and amazing artists, but only periodically and never really delving into the realm of my personal life.  This blog is just another adventure to add to the list of wildly wonderful moments along the way.  I aim to showcase provoking design, great meals, intriguing interiors, and to thrift as much as humanly possible.  This is me. I am prone to wander and wonder; mostly I'm Design Prone.
