Someday we'll have one of Kuramata's vases...</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started in
2008 with just a vintage online shop selling our favorite finding from thirft
stores and estate sales. We then became part of </span><a href="http://joindesignseattle.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">JOIN Design
Seattle</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and created some new pieces together (i.e. Alphabrass series
and Mega-Doily rugs) for few of the design shows in Seattle simply on the side.
This is when we came to realize the potential of designing our own things and
having our own studio. In 2010 after taking a slip casting class, we came out
with our first design product of the </span><a href="http://www.ladiesandgentlemenstudio.com/chalk-it-to-me-piggy"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">chalkable piggy bank</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> where we carried it from
start to finish and still produce now.</span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CULTURE &
HISTORY: We especially like seeing everyday things that are specifically
created based on highly specalized purpose or with resources that define the
lifestyle at a specific place or time. Whether it's a beautiful bamboo tea
whisk for Japanese tea ceremonies developed centuries ago or some toaster just
for making hot dogs from last year's Sky Mall catalog, I feel like either of
those things are equally fascinating (in how they came to realize) and it say
more about the culture's values than anything else. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SEEING HOW PEOPLE LIVE:
Anywhere and at any point in time its always inspiring to see how people live and
what they surround themselves with. We love visiting people's creative
spaces or even checking out estate sales to get a glimpse into how people
lived. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">MATERIALS: We
are suckers for material samples...and LOVE dorky things like swatch books!
(ooh la la) We have piles of them randomly spread around the house.
We believe in materials used in ways that highlight their natural
qualities...to a level of honesty that enhances the product's value and
usability over time.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">For better or worse, we
structure our studio around our life and our life around our studio.
What's nice about that is that we're able to let our ideas develop slowly over
time. This allows inspiration to come from things we own or encounter on
a daily basis. Our most recent work (Segment Necklace, Perimeter Tray, and
Cylinder Shakers) was inspired by a vintage set of wooden building blocks as
well as material samples for our kitchen remodel in using vintage brass handles
on wood cabinets.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">One really important
element in our studio/house is that over time we've installed our walls with
more and more open shelves, which now covers about 75% of all our wall
space! The open shelves functions like our brainstorming bulletin board
where we display our favorite findings from thrifting and traveling, books we
collected, photos we've taken, materials we like, etc. By seeing them on
a daily biases, they remind ourselves of the things that inspires us the
most. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">In terms of our design
process: Our process is as direct as it can be. When we have an idea, we would
start talking about it, which 99% of the time leads to us sketching it out on
paper of all forms such as on napkins, junk mail letters, cardboard, scarp
piece of wood, and even attempted to sketch on tissue paper (that didn't work
so well..) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">There's usually involves a
lot of back and forth between us (and yes, has lead to arguments!). But
we try to stay really objective in make our decisions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">We're both super hands-on
people, so if we get to an idea we both believe in, we then move forward with
making mini models to see them in real life to play with physical materials and
proportions, which is an integral part of the process for us that goes further
than using 3D modeling programs. Being able to explore and play is a big
part of it all, so there are many points in time, where our house would end up
looking like someone robbed our place with materials of all sorts, scraps,
tools, and random models covering our entire living room floor. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">When developing a product,
we work really closely with each other. There's 50-50 contribution to
most products, which is good and bad. We're pretty upfront with
each other about if we like an idea or not (we have to be), which occasionally
leads to extended days of debate and rework...a bit stressful, but in the end
the ideas that survive are stronger and we're both mutually excited about the
direction. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">For the other aspects of
the business, we divide the responsibilities according to our strengths.
Jean's the main force behind our marketing and PR, Dylan handles the
majority of the production, but there still remains a lot of overlap in all the
categories, which works well for us.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">I think we feel the
biggest connection with staple kitchen items so we use them the most...Japanese
knives, vintage cast iron Le Crueset frying pans, Chemex coffee pot,
vintage enameled steel tea kettle, old-school rice cooker, and of all things
our well-used toaster oven...I think over 80% of the food/drinks we consume
touches at least one of these items. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">We're working on expanding

other locations and think a mutually beneficial relationship can exist between
our travel lust and our desire to create. Also we need to do a major
purge of all our stuff (perhaps a spring open studio/garage sale!)</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
