HARMONIZING TEXTURES





Beautiful documentary on the dreamy, subconscious and utterly inspiring interior work of Roman & Williams. Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch practice a historical office model based on craft, hands-on design decisions and a highly personal viewpoint. (via the scout)

McNally Jackson Books in NYC is graced by an invitingly smart cafe space compliments of the talented and literate peoples at Front Studio (their portfolio is worth a few long looks). Makes us want to order up a double capp and dive into a 300-pager.
