Designers to Know: Commune Design
“The studio values the strength of the collective mind, believing that authentic creativity and innovation come from collaboration. The true virtuosity of their work comes from their collaborations with their clients as well as with other members of the community.”
Commune, a Los Angeles-based design firm creates spaces that I keep coming back to. This one in particular, the Marin Compound, is one I have returned to time and again over the past year. Whenever I imagine dreaming up a vacation home, or a vacation-like primary home this is the project that gets my wheels turning in the best way. I love the multi-disciplinary aspect of this firm. They specialize in architecture, interior, graphic, and product design which resonates deeply with my passion and why I started this blog, to explore design across mediums. As time passes, I find myself uncovering more of what lights me up, and what keeps coming up is this theme that design, broadly speaking, is at the heart of what I am drawn to. Interiors, fashion, set design and styling, art direction, and real estate investing, all serve as a canvas for creative expression.
Marin Compound, the featured project below, so beautifully blends together warm, rustic, historic elements with contemporary finishes, creating a space imbued with retreat-style luxury. This mixing together of old and new is a recurring theme on my blog, and always something my eye is drawn to.
