HANNAH KEEFE details...

This selection of close ups is only a small portion of the impressive new series by Hannah Keefe. 

All pieces are tediously composed chain and solder and have undergone a heat treatment which results in the vibrant coloration. 

Email: info@ikoikospace.com or call 323.719.1079 for more information or image requests of other styles.  

New at IKO IKO

Sure to inspire awe are these new pieces by Hannah Keefe.  

We just unveiled them Saturday evening, so don't miss your chance to see them in person if you haven't been by. 
There are also earrings!

We wanted to share...

Take a peek at our IKO IKO story on one of our favorite sites, SIGHT UNSEEN.  If you're unfamiliar, become familiar!  It's a wonderful site where you get an inside look at people in creative disciplines. Their interviews and photo montages give a deeper look at the process, inspirations and experience of a variety of people making ideas, spaces, objects, art, clothing, food...   

Thank you Monica Khemsurov for the conversation!

Casa Brutus special edition on architecture.  Not to miss!

Casa Brutus on Tadao Ando's architecture which is pretty impressive.  In Japan we were lucky to make it to the Chichu Art Museum on Naoshima island.  "Chichu" means "within the earth" and appropriately describes the feeling you have in his structures there--a harmonious relationship to light and sky.  Great issue of his work and next Casa Brutus featuring Sanaa is on the way!

Our afternoon in Minneapolis with ROLU

On a weekend trip to Minneapolis for a friend's wedding we were also able to make a new friend...Matt of ROLU, the design and art studio based in Minneapolis.  Their plywood and OSB furniture is madly circulating on loads of blogs and rightly so.  They are making some interesting shapes with a simple relationship to material and finishing. 

Matt was a wonderful guide through the Walker to see Alec Soth's photography show and then on bike for a ride along one of the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota.   Check out the FREE chairs we happened upon on our journey!!!

The above image is the ROLU shape chair zig.  There's also a zag version.  

Definitely see their latest collection of furniture:  http://rolustudio.com/
And, a very inspiring blog:  http://rolu.terapad.com/
They'll also be showing their collection at Mondo Cane in New York, so stay tuned!
