brave space
tonight is the domino party and i'm so excited- it promises to be a pretty swank affair and i can't wait to spill everything about it tomorrow morning. can't wait. so, in anticipation, i've gotta go find something to wear. i have nothing, so i better head out asap. but before that, i wanted to post a little sumthin about brave space (i love their name), a brooklyn based design studio showing at this year's brooklyn designs show.
brave space is composed of three designers that create modular, multifuntional objects for the home or office. working out of williamsburg, brave space began by providing custom apartment renovation services. responding to the "modest" nature of most of the apts and lofts in the area, they designed pieces with a sized-to-fit sensibility in mind. with the understanding that work and live spaces often overlap, they continue to follow forms that include elements of customization and modularity (thanks to nikki for the info). the brave space team is: sam kragiel, jesse arnold, and nikki frazier, all of whom met while attending art school in gainesville, fla. you can check out the full brave space experience right here. enjoy...

Thank you all so much for your generous comments. We are gettig a lot of attention right now as we prepare for the Brooklyn Designs Show this year, which we all hope you can attend to get a closer look.
A quick note about seeing random shapes in things. We also took a second look at the images after they were taken and saw the symbol that was mentioned. Rest assured that at least a third of us here at Brave Sapce are Jewish ourselves and such a thing was completely unintentional. Take a look at some clouds and you'll see alot of things. Peace.
i find this design to be entirely buildable, and therefore thoroughly lacking in theory. i give it a C-
I, on the other hand, have seen this design in action: Brave Space not only has the ability to transform a tiny living space or a humdrum workspace, but they also add a dose of classy-kitsch flair to all of the innovative things they make.
A+
