Relevant?


So about design.  When do we do it?  Most of the time at home it gets lost with production, sales, logistics and all the mistakes that happen along the way.  I never feel I get enough time to enjoy myself, lose myself in designing.  Being in Bali is not just about engrossing ourselves in the beauty and creativity of the island but about being away from the daily office grind.
My friend Jessica Diamond recently asked me during a Skype conversation, “Is it hard to take all the inspiration you see there and translate it to make it relevant for the US and your line?”  I have been thinking a lot about that, here are some images of what I see here daily and some links to places we go.

India sitting on ruffles in Asia, how relevant is this?

Ubud
Japanese designers have a big presence in Bali.  This is a soap store call Kou in Ubud. Great presentation.
Temple in Echo Beach Canggu. These structural details influence so much design here.
