Here is a detail of the top left corner of The Arch pic… the land formations are so giant out there you are/feel small. Its disorienting and exhilarating.
After a long wintery mix drive DDL arrives home in NH. Still much more to come as we literally and figuratively unpack in the studio from this amazing adventure! #design #desertdesignlab #furniture #vivianbeer (at Vivian Beer Studio )

We’re in Moab, UT and we’ve already done so many amazing hikes and there’s so much more to do. We’re staying at a campsite just outside of town and the South Mountain is just across the road.
It was all about texture, stratum and curves at Zion National Park! - We visited Zion on our way up to Moab, and saw the most beautiful and breathtaking landscapes. A completely different desert environment!
DDL moves onto Death Valley!
After a few days exploring the Salton Sea and the surrounding desert, we have moved onto to Beatty, NV the gateway to Death Valley! We will stay in Beatty for 11 days to take in as many trails, mines, salt flats, craters and peaks as we can! - We will shortly be joined by Hanna Vaughan and two new additions to the project Adrien Segal and Noah Sakamoto.
Adrien Segal attended California College of the Arts in San Francisco, CA for her undergraduate degree, receiving a BFA in Furniture Design in 2007. In addition to teaching, she pursues a creative practice out of her studio on the former Naval Base in Alameda, CA. Adrien recently held Artist Residencies at Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland and will be spending the month of May in Homer, Alaska at the Bunnell Art Center.
Noah Sakamoto was born and raised in Oakland, California. He attended the California College of Arts and Crafts, earning his BFA in 2007. Noah has exhibited in group, juried, and solo shows within California and New York. Noah currently teaches art at Town School for Boys, works as an arborist, and continues to live in the beautiful Bay Area
Desert Design Lab explored the Salton Sea with SDSU’s graduate students Joshua Torbick and Sophi Glenn and Steffi Dotson, president of the Furniture Society
The Bad Wolf becomes The Desert Design Lab RV
The trip has started! – But before we hit road, we customized the BADWLF with awesome graphics designed and installed by James Beer (mechanical director at Gigunda Group Inc.) James used Adobe Illustrator, UV printers and a C&C to make stickers for handouts and the large print graphics that wrap the RV.
