Architects often discuss the concept of compression and expansion - a creation of experiential contrast based on the juxtaposition of open fluidity and cloistered comfort. In so many homes today, there is only the open fluidity, a reaching that expands and extends without the beauty of the contrast.

The Isometric Chair by Kalon Studios is a work of art, domestically crafted from solid bamboo and finished with natural wax. An effortless blend of classic curve & modern minimalism, this is one more seating design for notorious chair-loving architects to add to their "must-have" collections.

It's full blown spring in Boulder and the chill fingers of frost have (hopefully!) passed us by. We're all starting on our gardens...expanding, starting anew, and learning from past seasons.

We’ve had a lot of media coverage over the years, and you never quite know what a writer will glean from an interview. So, we had to chuckle when we saw the David Barrett quote Yellowscene Magazine pulled for their feature on Contemporary Colorado, “It’s beat-to-hell sophistication that balances, warms and brings a handmade quality to these splendid, dynamic homes.”
