SWEET JULY

Situated in uptown Oakland, Ayesha Curry’s Sweet July is a lifestyle and home goods store, cafe, and event space. The complex programming required the large open space to be divided into zones and the overall space was unified through the use of grand gestures and warm materials. Enlisting the talents of a host of local makers and artists, we designed custom furnishings and fixtures that bring the Sweet July brand uniquely to life

Lacquerbar Berkeley

A modern San Francisco Bay Area salon with interiors designed by Form + Field, a San Francisco-based interior design firm.

Nail salon stations side by side with leather chairs, leaf-print pillows, and neon signs

LACQUERBAR BERKELEY

The founder of Lacquerbar created bold branding for her new nail salon concept that promises great nails, great drinks, and unabashedly feminist values. We took that strong brand identity and turned it into a unique experience on Berkeley's 4th Street corridor. Monochromatic themes of pink and purple with light wood finishes and raw concrete came together for a fresh, millennial-friendly, yet sophisticated vibe. An oversized gallery wall of female icons and role models completes the space's fun, girl-power attitude.

SAVERGLASS

Based in France, Saverglass — a worldwide leader and specialist for luxury and high-end bottles — enlisted the help of our team to design their Northern California headquarters that could properly display their exquisite glasswork and warmly welcome Napa and Sonoma clients.
