The Design Crack Guide to Designer Profiles
Designer Profile: 7760 / Ryan Harc
Ryan Harc is one of those designers whose mind you want to explore to find true brilliance. The product concepts he creates such as the A vases shown above exhibit extreme cleverness but with a restraint that can only be found in very few designers of his caliber. The vase above is perfect for a [...]
Brand Profile: Skitch
I pulled this from Dezeen who have loaded up a comprehensive gallery of images of featuring probably the most significant brand launched at this year’s Salone in Milan.

How about cleat 2, a new outlet cover design that is actually a hell of [...]

Paul Loebach is a Brooklyn based designer and woodworkers who’s roots are in Cincinnati. His work is characterized by a deep love for the craft of wood and pushing the limits on its traditions.
For instance in his seating piece, Chair-o Space, Loebach uses the iconic turned wood legs which at first glance seems so simple. [...]
