DoubleButter


If you missed the DoubleButter opening at P Design, you need to step away from the computer, get in the car and drive down there right now. I can't say enough good things about the work these guys showed. Clean, different, well made, well priced. I especially liked this coffee table- just folded powder coated steel and wood, but detailed so well. Pricing is $825 for MDF top and walnut stretcher, up to $1100 for a solid top in walnut, cherry, oak or maple. Not bad at all.

This chair is also great, and it's been a pretty long time since I was impressed with a chair. Only $383 in oiled MDF as shown (which looked cool in person), $484 in bamboo, and $585 in solid hardwood.

I always kick myself a little when I see work that I wish I had done, and I left this show feeling pretty banged up.

DoubleButter / Boontje Opening, P Design Gallery


Yeah, so I haven't posted in a while, but it's a lot easier when you get something good in your inbox like today. If you're in Denver, there's really no excuse not to head over to P Design Gallery to check out their opening on Friday, Nov. 17th. They're showing off some work from the currently very hot Tord Boontje (who just scored a big Target deal), but more interesting to me is new work from Denver duo David Larabee and Dexter Thornton, teamed up as DoubleButter. Larabee's work we've posted about before, and this new stuff looks pretty hot too.

If you haven't been down to P Design yet, this is the perfect chance. It's a great looking space with some really good pieces. Opening is from 7-10.
