Central Park happening


Currently in Central Park there is a unique museum design. To honor bag designer Coco Chanel. Whats inside of the museum isn't the largest attraction though. The unique design of the museum itself is what makes this exhibit unique. The museum is transferable and can be packed up and moved from city to city very easily! I just thought it was a fun little story! 
The following link is a short little article about it!

Anabliss Design

We recently visited local design studio Anabliss Design and Hadley Hooper's exhibition and workspace at Irontron Studios. It was definitely very interesting to see two completely different types of work spaces. Anabliss was very modern, low key and simple. There was about 4 designers working in the studio. I think this was a more likely studio for me. I loved everything about Anabliss from the type of work they did, to the people and the studio they worked at.
Hadley Hooper's studio was the complete opposite from Anabliss. She works with several different types of artists. This was interesting because they can all pull inspiration from each other. She does more illustration work which I am not as interested in, but her work is still beautiful. It was very interesting to see local designers at work and give us a sense of where we might be!
