Sketches 

My studio presentation. 

The project was combining two apartment into one high residence. 

My client is a young married couple, Luis who is music chief editor, Eva who is jazz singer. 

Luis is originally from south Africa, and lived in Paris for his college and work. He just got headhunted from other publish company in NYC. 

Eva is originally from Brazil, and she moved to U.S for college, majoring Jazz music. They met in Paris when Eva went to exchange student program in France. 

They collect Bruni Salban portrait painting, "Jazz Masters" ,Ella Fitzgerald , Billie Holiday,

Peggy Lee, and so on. 

My design solution was inspired by the paintings and their back ground which is Brazil and Africa. 

Use of color, material, and shape and form are evoked from their culture and character. 

I think residence design is hard, and it might be little bit conservative because it needs to meet the require of clients and comfort. 

It was fun project!!  I am so happy to be done with this though... 

Adorable antique lumps

yesterday, i was walking around Nolita and suddenly i run into such an attractive antique lumps shop. The store,  B-4 it was Cool is filled with beautiful vintage industrial lumps. 

I was overwhelmed with adorable pieces. 

There is working space in the corner of basement. It looks so mess but i love the unorganized and real craftsman's space like.  

I took so long time to look through with sparkling  eyes like a child looking at toy store. 

I got a hanging lump looks like a firefly.  Last night i read a book with the soft and beautiful light from the lump.
