Yvonne Mouser is an Oakland based artist, designer, and builder whose work spans furniture design, product, spaces, fine art, and events. We had the chance to visit Yvonne and chat with her about her work and inspiration.

Heather Rosenman first appeared on our radar with her Leto series of ceramic works that stopped us in our tracks with their strong geometric forms, at once evoking both the ancient and modern. So when it came to planning our trip to Los Angeles in October, we immediately scheduled a visit to her studio in east LA. Heather was warm, gracious, and open, and we can’t wait to incorporate her stunning pieces into our interior design projects. Read on to learn more about Heather’s work and inspiration and view scenes from her studio.

Despite being based in Oakland, it was in Manhattan at WantedDesign where we first crossed paths with design atelier Brave Matter.

We were immediately intrigued by each design's exquisite craftsmanship and composition.

Form + Field loves art. Not only can art have an emotional impact, but the right piece can anchor all the elements in a space and create visual harmony. As a side benefit, art can also be a great conversation starter!

When it comes to hunting for that perfect piece, one of Form + Field’s go-tos is The Jack Fischer Gallery in Potrero Hill and Minnesota Street Project.

Form + Field loves to commission the work of local craftsmen for our custom projects. When it comes to millwork for wood furniture, we particularly love the creations of Four/Quarter.

Interior design firms are often named after their founders, so I'm sometimes asked about how I came up with “Form + Field” for the name of our company. I thought I'd share the story with all of you.
