A visionary collab by SPACE10 + oio studio, Products of Place uses AI to reimagine dinner plates made from locally abundant materials. 🍽️ Taking into consideration local industry, transportation, food cultures, + behaviors of the region’s population, the plates were then created! The final results were unexpected + revealed a lot of information about the areas explored. While not every plate is viable, they all feel familiar yet strange. 👀 Can you guess where some of these plates come from?

For this week’s Milkshake, we talk with Caleb and @natalieebel, the husband-and-wife co-founders of the exceptionally cool paint brand @backdrop — and the creators of such colors as “Silver Lake Dad” (a slate blue-gray) and Disco Nap (a light acid yellow). “We created Backdrop because we wanted to have a timeless palette that lived on forever,” Natalie tells us. “I jokingly say Supermoon is our color of the year, this year and everywhere — it's a pure white.” For more, tune in. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
Artist and designer @elyse_graham’s sculptural foundation is evident in her hand-cast work — gorgeous, unique products (including furniture, mirrors, lighting and more) with highly innovative surfaces. In this week’s Milkshake, she talks to us about walking the line between art and commerce, her incredible new collection of hand-marbled Hydro lamps, and what she’s looking for in an LA wall — if you have one to volunteer, don’t miss this video! \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
No beige chaise longues for interdisciplinary designer @manasazegara: The New York-based designer, who joins us from her studio, wants to create furniture that feels more like “living creatures” than like items in a catalogue. In this week’s Milkshake, she tells us about the collection that took the ICFF by storm, how she develops her color palettes, and more. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
Speaking to us from their studio in Queens, NY, we caught up with Jin Namgoong and Joonghan Bae, founders of @studio.oong. In this week’s Milkshake, we asked them how they court fantasy in their work (which includes chandeliers consisting of luminous, chromatic orbs), and if there’s a common thread connecting their work with a surging Korean popular culture, from BTS and Blackpink to Squid Game and Parasite. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
See those intricately layered pieces, hanging behind Finnish artist @mariannehuotari in her Helskini studio? Those aren’t feathers — they’re hundreds of intricately hand-shaped ceramic pieces, sewn to her sculptural forms. In this week’s Milkshake, Marianne talks about how she creates this beautiful, complex, and exceptionally time consuming work, which has been exhibited around the world. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv

Ted Bradley, founder of @tedbradley.studio in Boulder, had it made, with a super-stable (if super-corporate) job at Google. He left it all to pursue his dream of creating sculptural porcelain lighting pieces — an ambition hampered by the fact that experts in the field told him it’d be impossible to create what he envisioned. It took thousands of hours, but he got there — here’s how he did it. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
How can young architects avoid designing buildings they hate? How can architecture solve the problems of multiple generations sharing a single home? And how can we manmade spaces connect us better to nature? @michael_leckie — principal and founder of @leckiestudio — has the answers, and happily for us, he shares them in this week’s Milkshake. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
After two decades working with clay, @erin_hupp_ceramics collaborates with some of the world’s best chefs — including Val M. Cantu of @californiossf and Kim Alter of @nightbirdsf, both in San Francisco — on the ceramics that show off their work to maximum effect. In this week’s Milkshake, we visit Erin in her Oakland studio, for a show-and-tell of some of her recent work and a discussion on how she makes wheel-thrown tableware for the most exclusive tables in town. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
As the co-founder of @materialkitchen, @eunicebyun has shepherded the production of some of the most beautiful home accessories on Earth: a sculptural peeler that looks straight out of a Calder sketch, a wood spoon so beautiful that it earned accolades on the @todayshow. Here, we talk with Eunice about getting Material products on @Oprah’s gift list — and about the significance of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
Leia T. Ward, founder of @ltwdesign, stages some of the most luxurious homes in the U.S. — and on this week’s Milkshake, she shares tips ‘n’ tricks from working with houses ranging “from $1 million to $20 million — and everything in between.” Spoiler: a pair of clippers can be a good friend in creating beautiful improvisational bouquets (if your yard is up to the challenge.) \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
It’s spring, and everything’s blooming — which was why we thought it was absolutely the right time to feature @futurejenn, founder of the trendsetting New York floral studio Future Flowers. On this week’s Milkshake, we talk to Jenn about how amateur florists can make their own bouquets look amazing, her favorite season, and why most retail bouquets are still stuck in the 1980s. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
On this week’s Milkshake, we talk with @lrottet, founding principal of @rottetstudio and the designer behind 40+ luxury hotel projects and some of the world’s most exclusive residential properties. Here, we talk to her about creating objects and interiors that complement the work of iconic architects like Norman Foster, her influences, and how she’s created a home she loves. \\\ #dmtvmilkshake #designmilktv
