Inspiration

Bring something
to the table.
Or chair.
Or bar stool.

We experience design in myriad ways every single day, sometimes without even realizing it. From the tools we use to the clothes we wear to the games we play, design is embedded in the fabric of our lives. What inspires you in the daily life that you lead?
