On in Santa Monica

A reminder that there are unique moments of poetry all around us in the built environment if you take the time to see them. This internally illuminated signage is 'ON'.

sugarfish succulents

Boxes of succulents adorn the entry gate to the new Sugarfish in Santa Monica. The latest outpost of the Sushi Nozawa brand replaces Taka Sushi and was designed by Dex Studio (also responsible for Sugarfish Downtown, Sugarfish Brentwood, and the venerable Venice Beechwood.)

Low Flow

The Flow bench is produced in an eco-composite soy based urethane by LA based Arktura. The firm which specializes in high tech fabrication is producing graphic panels for the new Santa Monica public beach restrooms currently under construction as well as the the Bruce Mau designed Big Blue Bus Shelters, 365 of which will soon be coming to the city.

Pixels for Everyone

From the de Young Museum to your place! Pixels is a new product introduced by USG. Custom perforated graphics can be applied to metal ceiling or wall panels. The surfaces can be backlit or treated with acoustical insulation to achieve NRCs up to .70.

Ribbons

The texture in this surface in this storefront display is composed of ribbons of craft paper pinned back to the wall surface.

Glow Redux

Shades of Santa Monica's biannual Glow festival appeared on the 3rd Street Promenade this week in the form of a glowing wireframe model of a new Land Rover Car. The installation coincides with hanging of this year's Christmas lights which can be seen in the background.
