Amazed In 1995, Madeleine and Dudley Edwards combined their talents to

form Amazed They produce rugs and wall hangings that often fall

into the category of art rather than commerce. Together or inde

pendently, the Dudleys have exhibited at majOr galleries and muse

ums around the world As applied artists, they enjoy working with

interior designers and architects. They like to think of these as jam

sessions, creating entirely new things that would not have existed

otherwise. The Dudleys have learned to assess what a space needs

and create work that harmonizes or contrasts with its surroundings,

ensuring that it always becomes an integral part of a whole.

Amy Ruppel Amy Ruppel's childhood was spent in rural Wisconsin, dragging a

stack of paper and a slew of crayons and pencils to her fort in the

woods. To this day, she stil l searches for the perfect oval and that

Immaculate orange-yellow or grassy green. The birds that frequent

her art stem from an illustration job that never came to fruition. Not

wanting to discard them, Amy felt the birds could somehow be

incorporated into her work. This proved fortuitous for both Amy and

her clients- the birds have become the focus of most of her design

work and paintings. Ruppel has worked with Apple, Converse, Nike,

Burton Snowboards, Target The Mercy Corps, Klutz, Vigo Cards, and

many others.

Barnbrook Barnbrook, created in 1990, is one of the most wel l-known design stu

dios in London, The studio's clients range from international muse

ums to underground music magazines, Our featured project was

commissioned by Beams, which is part of a two generation-old

shopping revolution from Japan, Lifestyle brands are more than a

way of life, Beams claims, and aims to be the "happy life solution

company," be it in the treatment of its employees, or customers, They

promise (and often deliver) utmost quality at a reasonable price, "in

all areas of life," One question remains: whether the "you are how you

shop" turns out any deeper than the "you are what you buy" philos

Birgit Amadori Birgit Amadori was born in Germany in 1977, and has lived in

Redondo Beach, California, since 2004, She graduated from the

Hochschule fur Gestaltung Offenbach am Main in Illustration, where

the education was very hands-on, Her techniques are basically self

taught, and although Adobe Illustrator has become her main tool,

five years ago, she didn't know how to turn on a computer, Amadori

spends a lot of time creating patterns for clothes that her characters

wear in the il lustrations, After all these years, Mucha is still her favorite

artist, but it is obvious when looking at her portfolio that she has a

strong interest in the Far East, especially Japan, Since she moved to

the greater Los Angeles area, most of her jobs have to do with the

enterta inment industry.

Blake E. Marquis Blake E. Marquis is originally from Boston. He studied design at the

Pratt Institute, during which time he designed graphics for SSUR. He

went on to work for Ryan McGinness, and later left New York City to

take a design position with Shepard Fairey at Studio Number One in

Los Angeles, and IS currently working freelance. Marquis' whole life

can be traced through the .3 mechan ical pencil he's had since the

7th grade. The pencil wrote poetry in 8th grade, took math tests in

9th, SATs in 12th, drew still-lives in college, sketched logos for work,

and has written a whole slew of love letters along the way. Much like

the people he admires the most (Duchamp, Haacke, and Warhol),

Marquis enJoys the thought of provoking his peers through his work.

Caitlin Keegan Caitl in Keegan is from a smal l town known to many as the Home of

the Wiffle ball (that would be Shelton, Connecticut) The Wiffle bal l, for

us non-initiates, was designed to take the place of baseball, stickball

and softbal l for kids who have to play in back yards and city streets.

It is made of a lightweight, tough rubbery plastic, and cannot be

thrown or hit any great distance. When not designing for the likes of

Nickelodeon, Playgirl. the New York Times, or Nylon Magazine,

Keegan paints, draws, illustrates for various other publications, and

occasionally makes books. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New

York, where she has lived since graduating from the Rhode Island

School of Design in 2002.

Caroline Stromgren Caroline Stromgren was born in Stockholm in 1979. She studied art,

film theory, and worked in advertising before she started her studies

at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, where she focused

on graphic design. She obta ined her bachelor's in 2007 and then

started her own company. Stromgren has since redesigned and laid

out Blatt magazine, created illustrations, and designed logotypes

and posters for many clients, including Citypaketet, MUF,

Kulturmejeriet, Debaser, B-line and Music First Creating patterns has

been a rather personal activity until now, as she had only used them

for self-promotion. Recently she has been combining her patterns

with graphic design and animation.

Dan Funderburgh Brooklyn, New York-based Funderburgh believes there are two main

requirements to making a great pattern: a solid concept. and a

few elements of imperfection. Indeed, patterns are cu ltura lly loaded,

and indivisible from their physical ity. Applications that inspire Funder

burgh the most include Arabic tessellations used in Middle Eastern

and Turkish architecture, Japanese kimono, and woodblock prints.

Where there are humans, there are patterns. Funderburgh seems

capable of exploring pretty much any avenue, so his custom instal

lations as well as his commissioned work for bigger companies find

their roots in very diverse sources, giving birth to a multi-faceted yet

focused body of work.

Db clay Db clay (formerly "db", or ductbills) is a company based in Portland,

Oregon, that has produced handmade wal lets for nearly a decade.

Founder Garett's mom was a crafty lady who made ginger bread

houses on Christmas, dyed them Kool-Aid green on St Patrick's Day,

and had entire rooms dedicated to craft projects. Garett started db

right out of high school; it was the perfect fit for his childhood train

Ing in making things. The db clay line as such was launched in 2005

as a manufacturing solution to the previously 100 percent hand

made crafts; the entire start-up of the company was funded by

hand making and selling duct tape wallets by the thousands. Today,

db clay combines elements from traditional craft making as wel l as

cutting edge technology.

Deadly Squire Deadly Squire was founded in 2004 by husband and wife Anna and

Tim Harrington. Each found the others art and personal style so

attractive that they were compelled to work together. Tim admired

the way Anna, who is also a painter, used color and shape. Anna

found it refreshing that Tim, who is also frontman for the well known

punk band Les Savy Fav, had no idea what a home and apparel

crossover line was. Their can-do attitude and unique set of skil ls

form the backbone of Deadly Squire. As individuals, they are attract

ed to patterns as the place "where the irrational and the rational

commune". Theirs are crisp and bold, intricate, but not too unnerv

Ing for daily use.

Delo Lindo Delo Lindo was created in 1985 by Fabien Cagani and Laurent

Matras, both born in 1961. They graduated from the Ecole Nationale

Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in Interior Design, and still live

and work in the French capital. Their work could be qualified as sim

ple, almost child -like: bold co lors, rounded shapes. One of Delo

Lindo's main assets is that they have developed a talent for blend

ing this playfulness with the object's function quite seamlessly, which

results in user-friendly, effortless designs. Indeed, their work has

become very popular with furn iture and electrical appliance manu

facturers. Our featured project was executed through CRAFT, the

Centre of Research for Ceramic and Enamel Applications in Art and

Design, situated in Limoges, France.

Demakersvan What if a cupboard would change itself, if it could feel the weight of

the books it carries? How would a loudspeaker change if it could feel

the difference in style between Bach and Jazz? Demakersvan feeds

off of these stories, which is why they decided to work in a way sim

ilar to the haute couture fashion world Their studio claims complete

artistic control, and this freedom allows them to express valuable

concepts, or fantastic stories, in annual "fashion shows". After each

show, a new collection of products is manufactured and released

Demakersvan is involved in all types of design projects; they like to

cross borders within their actual work thanks to collaborative efforts.

Ellen Bergrenn Oberg Bergrenn Oberg hails from Sweden, where she currently resides,

and has Just earned her design bachelors degree from the School

of Design and Crafts at Gothenburg University. Bergrenn Oberg

does some animation work, but in general, she favors illustration and

pattern projects because these two areas allow for a strong degree

of personal expression. She does not care to draw a line between

design and art; indeed, she finds the most satisfaction when her

work covers both grounds. Her expressive characters, which are

centra l to many of her illustrations, often find their way into her pat

terns in somewhat camouflaged ways.

Florencejohann Florence and Johann share one young, but promising website. Both

are 2006 graduates of the ECAL (University of Art and Design in

Lausanne), which overlooks Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Florence is

a designer, illustrator, and Art Director; Johann is a photographer.

Their aesthetic is dark, and in their pictures, light only hits the image

in specific, often brightly-colored and somewhat gaudy places.

Florencejohann's work is imbued with a quality that is offbeat but not

always humorous. Fashion conscious but natura lly subversive, their

eye seems equally influenced by beautiful countryside sunsets and

the graphic, sometimes harsh heritage of our modern world.

Gabrielle Lewin Gabrielle Lewin is a practicing designer in her native New York City.

A Parsons School of Design graduate, Lewin has special ized in prod

uct development and industria l design. She is committed to creat

ing utilitarian and egalitarian objects that are adaptable to many

environments. In true big c ity spirit she is aware that people with

extremely different occupations and lifestyles have an educated eye,

and a heightened sense of envi ronment Accord ingly, her work can

be found in places ranging from youthful apartments to high-end

residences; and stores that cater to a wide audience, such Crate

and Barrel, the Conran Shop, or the MOMA Design Store.

Gam"plus"Fratesi Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi started working together as

Gam"plus"Fratesi in 2005. Based in Denmark, they opened a second

division in Italy in 2007 Both countries have very strong, very contrast

Ing design cultures, and Gam"plus"Fratesi find the challenge of com

bining the two extremely inspiring. Their working together was a nat

ural consequence of conversations and observations that gradually

grew into concepts and projects. At some point they reached the

understanding that the union of their two characters might comple

ment each other in interesting ways. Their design focuses on simple

everyday gestures, which they retrace to the deeper parts of their

respective cultures in a fusion of technology, poetry, and tradition.

HelenAmyMurray Helen Murray was born in Somerset in 1980. She studied Textiles at

the Chelsea College of Art and Design, in London. Her upbringing in

the countryside is infused with a resolutely urban influence, as she

draws Inspiration from nature as well as from products and interiors.

Murray's exploration of surface relief came together in 2001 after she

took a trip to India and discovered fine wood and marble carvings.

Her desire to translate this effect into textile has lead her to develop

her signature, handcrafted technique. Murray is "excited about fabric

manipulation and using innovative techniques, beautiful materials,

and design to create couture for the interior." Her pieces have been

exhibited at design and art shows.

JB Classics JB Classics was officially launched in San Francisco during the win

ter of 2001, when founder Jason Bass noticed a void in the footwear

industry The lack of personality and added details he spotted

encouraged him to start this journey, In late 2004, JB Classics joined

forces with Mdot to steer the brand away from its ultra-niche platform

and take it to the next level. JB Classics Lab was formed, with an aim

to cover all remaining areas and create an all-around lifestyle expe

rience, One gets the distinct impression that JB works because the

people involved have a life, travel, observe, and have a good time

a cycle which Bass perpetuates thanks to an assiduous, constant

hands-on approach, from design to production,

UK, with a degree in 3D design in 2005. He established his business

there in early 2006, and spent the first few months developing his

product range. The prototype Lace Embossed tiles were exhibited at

the Milan International Furniture Fair in April 2006 and received a very

positive reception, so Macey sourced a manufacturer to produce

them. He has won a slew of awards and commissions in the past

for balance between aesthetics and innovation. Historic awareness

is essentia l to Meesters as a departure point for his projects. His cre

ative process explores the ways in which concept and product may

be intuitively linked

a textile designer and illustrator. She attributes her love for design

and crafts to her very artistic upbringing in San Francisco. You can

ty. Combined with her 50's style shapes, this gives her personal

pieces the look of a great vintage find She has worked for Marithe

+ Franyois Girbaud, Calvin Klein, and Jill Stuart. Lena now designs

her own products and freelances for a variety of companies. She

has illustrated two chi ldren's crafts books and is currently working

on her own craft book related to pattern design.

Lene Toni Kjeld "I'm working by intuition", says Lene Toni Kjeld Her intuition also hap

pens to be well-honed by her accumulated background knowledge

in textile history In Kjeld's opinion, it is important to understand the

craft of textile in order to fully make use of it. Quality In wa llpaper

comes through a well thought-out process, and each decision must

be founded, because on the wall every detail is exposed With her

transition wallpaper, KJeld allows the decorator to combine two differ

ent repeat patterns on one wall. By subtly yet swiftly morphlng from

one pattern and color-scheme to the next, her wallpaper in transition

divides large spaces (not physically, but through a change in style

and atmosphere) while remaining coherent as a whole.

Reddish Steinbock and Friedman's collaboration started when their paths

crossed as students at the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel.

They rea lized that, amongst other things, they shared simi lar views

on design and aesthetics. They worked together on their final proj

ect, which went against their university's customary way of working,

and was very successfu l. More importantly, they had fun, and it gave

them a clue about what they wanted to do as designers. After grad

uation, they started collaborating on different projects to experience

diverse materials and methods, an approach they have continued

ever since. After a while, they realized they had a studio, and should

probably give it a name and get a business card Reddish was

created in 2002.

Spoonfed "The spoon is mightier than the sword" Like any New Yorker, Spoon

fed consider themselves a true product and reflection of their city.

Whatever the Spoonfed man or woman may be lacking in other

departments, they make up with attitude- except that of course,

they don't lack in anything, in any department. The people at

Spoonfed pride themselves on their connoisseur's eye for detail.

Established in 2002, the company is especially concerned with fit

and design. In terms of production, construction quality and atten

tion to detail are ensured by limited production facilities their pieces

are made by a small group of hand-selected manufacturers, which

limits numbers and heightens desirability.

Steven Harrington Steven Harrington lives and works in Los Angeles, California. He

owns and operates National Forest Design with fellow artist Justin

Krietemeyer, and creates both commissioned and self-inspired art

projects. Influenced by images, fashion, graph ics discovered in Time

Life Encyclopedias from 1965-1972, thrift stores, and The Moody Blues,

he defines his art as contextual objectivism, which, defined in his

terms, means that he views each piece he creates as a tangible

object that is part of a larger context; object and context helping to

define each other. Perry doesn't like anything shoved down his, or

the viewer's throat discovery is the key. He has exhibited work in

major cities al l over the world

Sukie Darrell Gibbs and Julia Harding met at the University of Brighton in

1992 where they both studied illustration. Julia graduated in 1995,

Darrell in 1996. They were married in 2004 and have a daughter, Kitty

Sofia, born in 2005. While Darrell studied at the RCA. Jul ia worked in

the buying departments of Liberty and House of Fraser, gaining pre

cious experience that turned out to be useful when setting up Sukie .

At his senior show, Darrell exhibited a range of bespoke paper note

books made from discarded papers, which were subsequently

ordered by Habitat and DKNY The company was born. Inspiration

comes from collected ephemera, nature, old books, travel, printing,

flea markets, and old paper.

Sweden Graphics Sweden Graphics was founded by two Swedes Nille Svensson (born

in 1970), and Magnus Astrbm (born in 1969) Both were educated at

the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in

Stockholm, and have been working professionally as designers

since 1997 They design, illustrate, brand and animate for a wide

spectrum of clients; although they are capable of producing simply

effective work, one gets the feeling that personal expression is pri

mordial for them. Their environmental, political, cultural. and popular

concerns come to the forefront in many of their pieces. Usually these

issues are addressed in a humorous or detached manner, through

loaded image juxtapositions.

Telegramme Telegramme is a col laboration that snowballed in to a fully function

al studio. Christophe (in Bristol) and Robert (in Cornwall) developed a

creative partnership via the Roya l Airmail thanks to a mutual love of

music, art and the receiving of post Christopher and Robert, now liv

ing in London, il lustrate, screen print, make patterns and design wall

paper in an effort to bring rich, subversive and functional art to peo

ple's walls. Fully involved in commissioned as well as self-initiated

projects, the pair work both in print and on digital supports. Their

hands-on aesthetic and their concepts clearly demonstrate the

inspiration they find in the physical world of screens, paper, paint

pots, and human interaction.

Tjep. At a very young age, Frank Tjepkema conceived his first rocket

designs. At first, these were naive interpretations of archetypica l

rockets, but soon, adults became astonished at the level of sophis

tication he was demonstrating, solving problems such as how to go

to the 100 when floating in outer space. This won him his first inter

national patent with the RTD (Retroactive Toilet Device) Janneke

Hooymans' interest in design manifested at age th ree, as she start

ed building simple Mies van de Rohe-type constructions that

became quite sophisticated By age eight, she crafted a wooden

tree house that gained second place at the 1982 International Tree

House awards. Frank and Janneke met at the Design Academy

Eindhoven. In 2001, they joined forces as TJep.

objects with which they come in contact Equal emphasis is put on

the quality/longevity of the work produced, and its relevance to con

temporary culture," The Vest Collective is committed to the belief that

objects can affect positive change, thanks in part to the inevitable

attachment one will feel towards a useful, high quality, familiar, or

beautiful piece,
