Brian Beck, is an artist and all round the most complete Renaissance man we know.  In the summer of 2014 Brian travelled to Dalakunut, Sweden to attend the Gransfors Bruk  Log-building Course – Timber Jointing and learn the art and craft of building traditional Swedish log cabins.  Gransfors Bruk is an internationally renown company that for over 100 years has specialized in the crafting, care and use of axes, the only tools used in the making of this cabin.  If any of you have ever been lulled into hours of zen watching Dick Proenneke’s “Alone in the Wilderness you will understand the level at which Brian works. The cabin was part of Beck’s Obsolescence: Brian A. Beck 7.11.15 show at Studio e.

Holiday Gifting from Inform: Staff Picks

Hillary's Picks

There is nothing I love more than entertaining and as Leah said it, bringing loved ones together over food. My picks are definitely geared towards this.

First up, Iittala Aarne champagne glasses. I have these and love using them every time. Champagne is a celebration and it becomes even more elegant and exciting with these.

Set of 2, $65

If red wine is more your style, Iittala offers the lovely Essence collection. The red wine glasses are what I use at home. Beautiful, simple and sleek. Here is the Essence collection.

Set of 4, $70
Perfect for serving, the Iittala Piano spoons are gorgeous. I've been coveting these for awhile.

$125 for set
These Tom Dixon candle holders will light your table and feast beautifully. Made from marble and will work for various sizes of candle.

$70-$95
For a warm evening cup of tea, I'd turn to Tom Dixon and his brass tea set. 

$820 as shown here
And after all of the entertaining and perhaps a little too much bubbly or wine, falling into bed might be best. For that, the Hastens pajamas are my go-to. Comfort done right!

$180
Come by the showroom to see even more gifts for your home and loved ones!
Happy shopping - Hillary
