Knit Sits: Claire-Ann O’Brien
Now that it is finally feeling more like fall, I’m thinking knits knits knits in interesting combinations. Designer Claire-Anne O’Brien‘s knit sits definitely fit the bill. I love that she mixes surfaces and textures of the soft and the hard in the smoothness of the wooden and metal legs and the chunky seat bottom. She really ‘knits’ together industrial and textile design! Sigh, sorry for such a knit-witted pun.

The chairs have an extraterrestrial slash 60s Pop Art vibe that I dig. They remind me of Claes Oldenburg soft sculptures, like his squishy alphabet:
Ina Grau Footwear
Ina Grau are “a collaborative shoemaking endeavor” started last year by LUISA FERNANDA GARCIA-GOMEZ and CRYSTAL QUINN. Their shoes are full of whimsy and detail and it makes complete sense that they’ve made shoes for the uber-talented Annie Larson of All For Everyone.
love the embossed dots on the soles
They are totally inspiring me for my North American Footwear: Moccasin class at TAC where we are choosing from ‘over seventeen different solutions handed down from Native American artisans, each honed over millenia to be the best foot covering for a particular region, climate and geography of North America.’ WHOA amazing. I also posted the class at SkillShare, a new community I’m pretty excited about as a lifelong crafter, learner and teacher. Look for me there if you happen to be on it!
