We couldn't be happier with the result of these wind chimes in collaboration with Nicholas Nyland! Nicholas made some really special ceramic chime pieces with various shapes, textures, and glazes. So every chime is one-of-a-kind!

We're really excited to be working with our dear friend/artist, Nicholas Nyland in creating a whole collection of wind chimes which we'll launch in mid-May!
We've been posting some process shots on our EXPLORATION page and we'll be sharing them next week and will be exhibiting them at New York Designweek along with other new works from MAY 17-20 at Reclaim NYC and Noho Design District. (Details TBA)
We've been a long-time fan of Nicholas' work and been wanting to work with him for years now! We love his fun & uninhibited way wanting to work with him for years now! We love his uninhibited ceramic pieces and his use of fun colors and textures.
Needless to say it's going to be an exciting collaboration and we think it'll yield a really interesting result contrasted with our simple forms and material pallet!
Here are some photos from our brainstorming session with Nicholas and at his lovely home!
This is happening... AmDC's will be showing in Milan at Most Salone from April 9th-14th. Although we can't physically be there to join all the fun, we're still excited to have some of our works be shown under AmDC during that time!
Every small step is still a step closer to our dream, right?!
We've been hoping to get our products in Anthropologie for awhile now...but so far we've only had some loose email correspondence that've yet mound to anything....
But this last winter out of the blue, one of the the buyers from Terrain (with great home & garden goods) contacted us about making custom servers for them!
Then a month later, another buyer from BHLDN (with beautiful wedding things of all sorts) contacted us about making more custom cake servers, too!
Not only are both of these shops great, they're also under the same umbrella of Anthro & Urban Outfitters!
We feel like we're just one step away from getting something in Anthropologie! Let's hope that next step will happen in the near future!
Every year, we tell ourselves that we need to prepare early since this is always our busiest time of the year. But of course, no matter how much we think we prepared ourselves....we still end up working late hours and feeling sleep deprived for the majority of the time.
....And this holiday especially seemed extra actioned packed.
We're totally stoked to get orders from some of our favorite shops from all over!
The Cool Hunter's pop-up in Australia / Douglas + Bec in New Zealand / Makers & Brothers in Ireland / April & May in The Netherlands / Le Kiosk in Sweden / Die Sellerie in Austria / The Drake General Store in Toronto / Nineteenten in Vancouver / The Future Perfect , Sight Unseen, and American Design Club in New York / Unison Home in Chicago / Terrain in Philadelphia / Propeller in San Francisco / Woonwinkel in Portland / Frye Art Museum Shop in Seattle!
We did a Himmeli ornament workshop at the Meet The Makers event at the Frye.
We designed and made our own special L&G letterhead that folds into an envelope!
And finally, we organized and put together The BLAK design popup the last weekend before Christmas at Caffe Vita!
There's still so much I need to blog about, but needless to say, we're just happy that we made it through the holidays!
Now it's time to unwindulax!
5 day countdown till THE BLAK \ DESIGNMART...get ready!!! This is the REAL reason why you been putting off your holiday shopping...any last minute shopping should be saved for THIS out of the world expereince!
We're so thrilled to be on Sight Unseen's UP & COMING column!! SU is hands down one of our fav design blogs! Bith Jill & Monica has such a keen eye in spotting the current & upcoing trends whether it be art, craft or design.
For the column, Monica asked us quite a few hard hitting questions about L&G over the phone and patiently listened to us as Dylan & I struggled to sound like we know what we're doing. This is probably one of the most in-depth interviews we've done thus far and we learned more about oursevels more than ever!
We shared all sorts of things about ourselves such as how we met & started, where we find our inspirations, who our design hero is, things we created as a kid, things we have around our house, and how somtimes people think we're an escort service....which in all honesty, we probably would be financially better off if we had taken that route. :P
We're so happy that we've came this far to be on Sight Unseen!
Also here are some photo outtake:
Our design hero, Enzo Mari.
Inspirational findings whenever we go on nature walks.
Our collection of vintage houseware on our kitchen shelves.
Our collection of thrifted glass jars we've collected over the years.
Jean's collection of random office supplies in the office.
Some of our best thrifted finds in our living room: Knoll couch, Hans Wagner rocking chairs, unknown vintage woven rugs, and the jade plant.
Thanks Jill & Monica! XOXO
This THURSDAY ( if you're in Seattle) come visit Dylan & I at the FRYE's Meet the Makers happy hour this from 4pm-7pm!
Come hang out with us, enjoy some champagne & treats, and come see or make some special ornaments with us!
If you haven't visited the Frye already, here's the perfect excuse to also come check out Frye's current exhibhit (FREE!) and their newly revamped museum OBJECT store cruated by our talented friend Charlie Scuck!
See you there!
I had a vision in the middle of the night for a new L&G letterhead mailer that's an all-in-one letter + envelope. Talk about going down the memory lane of passing notes during grade school!
Anthology just launched their lovely online Holiday issue and we're excited to be one of the contributers for them for the first time!!
For this issue, Meg (the editor) asked us to make a special holiday wreath for the "Holiday Hang Ups!" (pg 43) section featuring various handmade wreaths! I never make one before and thought "OK, why not!"
My vision was to make something that's simple, not too holiday-ey but still warm & cozy all at the same time. I was a bit worried that it would look too boring....but thanks to Anthology team who styled & shot everything so well that they made it feel extra nice & festive!
Check out the rest of the Holiday issue and get in on the festivities!
This season, L&G teamed up with some of our JOIN friends, Grain and Iacoli & McAllister to test this concept of putting together a a micro catalog of gift ideas.
We were lucky to have our friend, Charlie Schuck photograph our products while I styled everything....which I'm starting to realize the whole process of styling products can really satisfy my natural OCD tendencies of arranging/rearranging things!
Check out the full catalog below. Clicking on the actual products on the image in the catalog to get directly to the product page.
