Zulu Mama Chair
I’ve recently moved cross country and have been roughing it, but it can be a lot of fun. Parameters and limited supplies can be a great way to challenge you to see the potential in what you’ve got on hand.
And, in fact, a good set of parameters are the impetus that drives truly great design. Giving yourself some unique limitations in addition to a client’s requirements are oftentimes an effective way to get past a creative mental block.
Pictured here we have the solution to my need for a spice rack. I upcycled two wooden clementine crates to hang as spice racks above our oven.

Wall Dogs: The Midair Muralists Who Paint New York
It’s 8am in Soho, the thermometer reads just above freezing, and the sky is bleak. Taxis splash down the streets; New Yorkers stride with their heads down, leaping over puddles, carelessly bumping into each other. Everyone wants to get out of the cold, out of the rain, into the warmth.
Ten stories above — on a long, skinny platform hanging from the facade of a building at Canal and Mercer in downtown Manhattan — it’s a different story. Climbers’ ropes secured around their torsos, Jason Coatney and Armando Balmaceda stand in a melange of open paint cans and brushes. These two muralists of Colossal Media, the largest hand-painted advertising company in America, are heavily layered in sweatshirts and raincoats. But in this industry, c’est la vie. Paintbrushes in their fingerless-gloved hands, earbuds in their ears — “I like to start out with Miles Davis in the morning,” Coatney smiles, his breath visible in the frigid air — they begin yet another workday in the sky.
