For the Kids

Here is a little pro bono project we did for the kids at a local preschool.  We have been trying really hard to find a way to get more involved in the community and bring art and design to the neighborhood. . . legally.

It is a small start but it was really fun to contribute.

the "Circus of the Sea"  The preschool director wanted sea life, and if you know Traci at all you will also know it had to be more fun than just some sea creatures floating about.

the kids dig it!

Just a little inspiration

 

 

This  is a multidisciplinary design firm that architect Pitupong (Jack) Chaowakul established in 2009 in Bangkok.

  The idea for their office was "that inspires, is genuinely fun to come to everyday, and that didn't take itself too seriously."



The agency's move to the Sindhorn Tower, on Wireless Road in Bangkok, was part of parent firm Publicis's goal to gather its affiliated companies in one building for shared resources.





We love Supermachine's happy nods to motion and mobility. The reception desk is on wheels and resembles a big white bus. Bicycles work as the legs of a large glass-top conference table that is fully mobile. The meeting cabins that feel like train compartments. There is also the reoccurring visual theme in the shape of a racetrack, hockey rink or stadium.

The Studio

Anyone who saw a previous post a while back about "Taking Over the Garage" read more here had a little preview to this, and now. . .

The studio is complete!  Fully function and using entirely reclaimed and re-purposed material, the former workshop/storage/mess is reinvented.

Before

 We gathered a dozen shipping pallets and about 30 black milk crates.  With a bit of alteration the pallets hold up to 4 crates each.

1 unit = 2 pallets/6 crates  4 units = 24 crates.  They are mounted with cleats for easy access and removal and hold all our supplies and materials perfectly

A few details for the designer.

Good Luck Bottega
