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.

 

Inform at the Nordic Heritage Museum with Docomomo WEWA

Inform Interiors was pleased to present remarks about Poul Kjaerholm at Docomomo WEWA's event at the Nordic Heritage Museum's Danish Modern: Design for Living exhibit.

A refreshingly interested and engaged audience had all sorts of questions and comments and most made a point of trying out the 3 Poul Kjaerholm chairs we brought in for the event, the PK25, PK22 and PK9 (left to right in the top image). Furniture is meant to be sat in after all! 

One attendee, retired architect Audrey Legh Van Horne found her way to our showroom the next day just for a promised private tour with Hillary. It was delight going through the many pieces that we have at Inform from the same era as Poul Kjaerholm's work. We toured works from Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto, Gino Sarfatti, and Charles and Ray Eames. Inform is available as a resource for the design community. Please visit us often to see what's new and revisit the classics we try to have on hand at all times. 

Join us for Pecha Kucha Night
