Bay Area Made: The Locally Crafted Home

Bay Area Made: The Locally Crafted Home

“Bay Area Made: The Locally Crafted Home” was a curated loft-like open plan living space installation with a bedroom, dining room, lounge, studio, and patio showcasing products from 36 of the Bay Area’s finest makers including furniture, lighting, ceramics, art, accessories, and body products – illustrating how they can work together, and how you can live with them.

The installation was hosted by member company Gantri in their awesome San Francisco SOMA studio for San Francisco Design Week.
