DB DOES LEWITT (JUST A COINCIDENCE)
Yes, we've shown a version of these photos before, maybe even twice. But this stitched-together view is new and it reminds us of that Sol Lewitt Wall Drawing 51: All architectural points connected by straight lines piece below, except here, of course, are the profiles of our Grasshopper lounge, our Crane side chair (never made it beyond the prototype stage) and our Crane barstool, from our show at the 400 on Bannock a few years back. We extended the lines of the bar profiles out and down to highlight the graphic elements in the designs—in pencil, though the Lewitt snap chalk lines at MASS MoCA are better—thinking it was clever and original and made for a fresh look. Well, just because Lewitt had a similar idea doesn't mean it wasn't original (and we still think it was clever and fresh). The Grasshopper piece is now the highlight of the east wall of our shop, the other two pieces are tucked safely in storage, awaiting an appropriate wall.
