Better Design Better Living™ – BDBL

We believe that good design can influence how we live and how we navigate daily life. We also believe that the simple act of paying attention to the nuance of daily life makes us better designers. Along the way, we will document some of that inspiration and share it with you here on BDBL.

BDBL SkateHub is a minimal bracket used to store and display a skateboard. It is machined out of a .25" aluminum sheet that is then bent and anodized. The bracket is bent 55º so that the weight of the board is doing the work, meaning no screws or bolts through the board. The simple bracket also creates a hidden shelf that is the perfect place to store your pocket belongings such as keys, wallet, etc. It provides untethered access to easily switch decks out that are on display or grab and go when the next journey awaits.

Inside Response was looking to create a space that embodied their lively culture while enhancing friendly competition. Walk through the "tunnel" to get to your workspace, just like gameday... but every day. Typically the least desirable seat in an office space is away from the window but here the team will compete to be ON THE FIELD which is highlighted by bright green carpet, and white framed desks + chairs in the core of the space. Oh... and two putting greens. Link in bio to learn more!

Happy International Women's Day! Cheers to the awesome women at KEM STUDIO, Grace, Lauren, Tayvia, and Anna for being such a powerful and outstanding influence + presence every day.

No matter how you are experiencing Tempo - designing, assembling, or vibing with it... it's the details that make this design really powerful. From the dowels for the ceiling system, the cork + sleepers for the wall system to the PET modules themselves, each element is precisely designed for an easy and fun experience that looks really really good. Link in bio for more on Tempo!

Tempo is the first baffle system that uses the same modules for the ceiling and wall. This means that you can have a cohesive acoustic solution in a room or across a floor plate of a building, even if you change up the selected modules… it still works together. ⠀

We're excited to introduce our latest product for Loftwall, Tempo. Turn down the volume, with style. ⠀
⠀
Tempo is an acoustic baffle for the ceiling and wall that includes twelve different modules offered in six colors, so the combinations are almost endless. It empowers each designer to simply create unique installations depending on the style of the space and its acoustic requirements.

Shout-out to our friends @trophybrewing for the hookup. 70 degrees and sunny here in KC... talk about perfect timing for these to get here. Cheers! 🍻

We are grateful for all of the projects that we got to work on this year and are excited to feature a few of those that #wrapped up in 2020. Cheers to our team, clients and collaborators for such delightful experiences this year and to the ones that await us in 2021.

We always appreciate when our work is shown love and reaches more and more people. With that in mind, we highlighted a few articles this year from the likes of Design Milk (Homestead Residence), Metropolis (Parallel), Business of Furniture (Upfit 2020 Extension + Parallel) and the Wall Street Journal (Adobe Lab82).
