At Large: Introducing Scheibe Design

jeanlin

We had the pleasure of introducing Scheibe Design to our world last week. The father-son duo, Nate (son) and Tres (dad) have a fabrication shop just outside of Nashville where Jean met Nate on her Coast to Coast tour in 2018. She has watched him grow as a designer for over 4 years, including a stint as a lead fabricator for Colony alumni Fort Standard. Over the years, Nate would bring design ideas to Jean for feedback and this collection was born out of those conversations.

Using the swoop connecting the top of the Roebuck bench to its legs as a starting point --  Jean loved that detail, its delicacy and simplicity -- she pushed Nate to achieve those same qualities throughout. The whole collection is on view now at Colony. It's worth a visit if we do say so ourselves.

LIFE/DESIGN

At Colony we believe that the best design is that which is well loved, used and lived in. Here are some of our favorite table-toppers for Mr. B.

Pretty Playing Cards

Have you ever watched Ken Burns' National Parks docuseries? Me neither, I fell asleep. I've heard it's wonderful though, and these pretty playing cards from Parks Project benefit national park conservation.

IGWS (it goes without saying) we love a card game with or without a new deck of cards. Our Gallery Coordinator, Grace's go-to is the Russian classic Durak. 

Flowers for Drying

You know when cut flowers start to smell like a hot wet sock? Avoid that situation entirely by choosing flowers that work dried as well. At Colony, we have inadvertently tested out MANY flower varieties, and topping our list for self-drying flowers are eucalyptus and our Art Director Madeleine's favorite, Craspedia.

Always be snacking

We love snacks. And we're certainly not turning our noses up at a bag of pretzels. But some appetizers and homemade snacks are too easy to pass up. Colony founder Jean's current obsession are these Taiwanese Snowflake Crisps. She makes them with dried cranberries and pistachios but any nut and dried fruit combination works. Here's a recipe to get you started.

Dream Home by Brian Kaspr

jeanlin

Colony is thrilled to be showcasing artist and designer Brian Kaspr’s latest installation, Dream Home, painted remnants pulled from a house slated for planned demolition. The installation serves as the sole memento of an ambitious creative process spanning the course of seven days. A journey of creation and destruction, the first four days saw the of the house a blank canvas, where Kaspr and his team covered every square inch of surface area with the artist’s trademark exuberant neon brushstrokes and paint splatters; the remaining three days witnessed the unraveling of it all.

Dream Home opens November 10, 5-8 PM and runs through the month of November.

You’re Invited: Drink, Draw, Raffle at Colony

jeanlin

Next Wednesday, July 20 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, we will be hosting a fundraising Drink and Draw with raffle items from Colony designers and beyond benefiting the National Network of Abortion Funds.

At Colony, we believe that reproductive rights are human rights, and that abortion care is healthcare. We believe that denying women of basic healthcare and autonomy over our bodies is a patriarchal injustice that will most negatively impact women in low income communities as well as Black, Indigenous and women of color. We are enraged and saddened, and in our grief all we can do is use the tools we have at our disposal to help in what little way we can.

Please join us next Wednesday in unity to drink, draw, celebrate women and donate what we can to help those fighting this fight on our behalf every day.

Purchase raffle tickets (and see what's up for grabs) in advance of the event here.

JOIN, a group show

jeanlin

This month, we were so happy to invite you back into Colony for the opening of JOIN, a group show. We're proud of what our designers and our team were able to build together, even in the face of the uncertainty that has seemed to become our new normal.

The show will be installed through December 10th, so if you haven't yet, please stop by to experience the work and space that we feel represents a moment in time where our hope and reflection coalesce.
