Interior

 

No, this is not going to be a blog about Singapore design studios pets ! Just before meeting Felix NG in Singapore on october 19th, I went to the Hjgher studio. I discover their work when they send me the third issue of the Underscore magazine, a self initiated magazine done "juste because we want to do one". We exchange about creativity around a good tea and I can shoot their nice studio...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a lot of studio, Hjgher tream work for its own clients before launching their own projects, by passion. They start with the Underscore magazine, "An independent magazine with thematic content attuned to a simple rhythm; quality of life. Conceived to underline/highlight simple values that are important but neglected in our everyday lives."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today, I went to visit Mr Eka, the great wood craftman who did the Helvetica wood letters collections with me, to seen the samples of the 3td collection... It won't be on sell until a long time as I want to sell the first 2 collections before, but they look fantastic ! The idea is a raw wood collection, but covered with metal packaging elements... It is great and it is recycling !!!

 

 

For the 2 actual collection, Recycled Teck & Raw Suar wood I want to do a cover for the reseller catalog, and shoot all the letters with instagram to show how they are all different !

 

 

 

And as instagram is so easy, if you do order of a word, I can took a picture to be sure you like the colors ! Just send your request when you order them...

 

 Already one month and half in Bali and I love it (specially as I can go to Singapore)... But what I miss is a big nice office. We always want we don't have... I was luck to visit Ty Mattson studio last year, and it was really inspiring... and he brings it to another level... It present it well, so just have to quote him :

Mattson Creative is a small design firm, by design. The only downside of running a boutique studio is that you really don’t need that much space to do it. I’ve always wanted to work in a big, ultra-creative office – an inspiring environment, teeming with interesting people, doing inspiring work. But I’ve never wanted to manage the number of employees that would necessitate a studio of that size. My passion is design, not management. I wanted the energy, community and culture of a large creative agency…I just didn’t want the agency.

So I set out to create the type of office that I wanted to work in, and I invited my friends and colleagues to join me. It turns out that they were looking for the same thing I was: a unique environment and a creative community. I decided to expand our existing space in Old Town Irvine into a collaborative workspace for creative professionals. We filled it quickly and now the space is home to artists, designers, photographers, producers and developers. And I get to go to work everyday with my friends. We call it SND CYN Studios – which is derived from our address on Sand Canyon Avenue.

 

All summer we’ve been working on the building– a 125 year-old former lima bean factory – reimagining and redesigning the interior into a one-of-a-kind creative workspace – and we’re almost finished. Stay tuned to my blog for more pictures as we finalize the studio. It’s exciting to see it coming together.

Some pictures of this amazing space.
