Inspired by Chocolate
Food is our trigger to all design. Its color may inform our fashion, its texture may inform our artwork. Its shape may inform our interiors and its flavor will always inform our table.

Inspired by Oysters

This week our inspiration is an oyster. Rough yet refined. A skilled knife hand to open and well worth the briny blast of refreshment in the end. Plucked from the sea and shucked for your table, take a rake through our mud this week and see the beauty in our bounty.
Inspired by Mandarin Oranges
This week our inspiration is a Mandarin orange. A slight spray of juice, a peel’s texture, a vibrant color (Libbie’s favorite), a stringy pith and a sweet woman from The Congo who holds them ever so gently against her skin. Welcome into our home for a week of orange clad citrus inspired living and take a peek under the rug.
Inspired by Mushrooms
Food is our trigger to all design. Its color may inform our fashion. It’s texture may inform our artwork. Its shape may inform our interiors and its flavor will always inform our table. This week our inspiration is mushrooms. Dirty, dank and gritty where grown. Earthy and rich when eaten. Welcome into our home for a week of fungi inspired living and take a peek under the log to see the magic.
