New West Coast Design: Contemporary ObjectsWith new work and projects from over 50 California, Oregon and Washington designers and studios, New West Coast Design: Contemporary Objects offers an up-to-the-minute look at the many objects that have kept California, and its neighbors, at the forefront of innovation for nearly a half-century.
This exhibition will highlight a collection of the most exciting new designs for contemporary living currently emerging on the West Coast, including functional pieces for interiors, outdoor sports gear, and landscape design.
The breadth of work to be displayed will emphasize multiplicity of materials and objects, designed and fabricated by established and new artists in the field.
New materials worked into traditional forms highlight the works from San Francisco design studios Pablo, Council, and Meyerhoffer.
Exploring personal ideas of innovation are unique projects like Wendy Maruyama's digitally enhanced vanity, Wendell Jones' retro-Pop influenced coffee table, Kim Kelzer's turned-wood sculpture, Heath Matysek-Snyder's molded rubber table, Lee Miltier's lyrically hand-blown goblets and Alexis Moran's colored concrete bookends.
Also showcased will be Bruce Gordon's elegantly styled bicycle (winner of Best of Show 2007 North American Handmade Bicycle Show); Thomas Meyerhoffer's custom constructed surfboards; and Shinya Kimura's exquisitely updated motorcycle.
