the studio

Posted: October 14th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: the design studio | Comments Off

A newly renovated studio.

I have always been interested in what other artists / designers work spaces look like. We have all have one.  But what do they all look like? Are there similarities? Whats in the studio? What objects do those people collect and admire? What do they surround themselves with? How do they decorate?


Or do they even decorate at all? What tools do they use? Is the space inspiring? Is it as mess, or is it tidy and clean?

In my opinion, an artist’s studio is very telling of one’s likes, dislikes, and often speaks alot about their work. The studio is where all the innovation happens for creative people. Above are shots of my own studio in Calgary- hope you enjoy!
