Thanks to everyone who attended our recent exhibition “Bay Area Made: Product Design Stories” for SF Design Week, hosted by Gantri lighting in their beautiful SOMA San Francisco studio. The exhibition showcased products from 37 Bay Area Made member companies, including standard, custom, and customized offerings from established and up-and-coming brands spanning home & garden, clothing & accessories, food & beverage, and body & bath. Products were displayed along with the story behind them, offering a behind the scenes glimpse into who creates the products, and how and why they are made. We’ll be sharing select stories from the exhibition in future posts. In the meantime, here is a selection of images. We had so many great products and images that we’re publishing them in two features. Here is Part 2.
