We bat the fashion ball back and forth with quite a few folks but the the boys at DoubleButter have to be the most vociferous about their stance. More than anyone we know, they stand by their uniform and are pretty relentless implementing it every day. They sent us some pics (damn fine pics) of the standard issue DB shop uniform and as you can see, most of it has been ridden hard and put away wet more days than not. Even though its only a 2 man operation, they are so serious about sartorial shop rules they even have a 3rd kit for emergency backup (in case the welder gets a bit wily). Oh and when they aren’t hassling us about our clothes, they make some fabulous furniture, pics below.

The folks at cities x design have an interesting idea, travel around the country looking for innovative design and related business locally. Document it and provide a forum for showcasing America’s ability to make things in these economic times. Since they stopped by our pals at DoubleButter, we figured we should include the vids. More highlights both at DoubleButter and Cities x Design.

I always love modular furniture and am especially fond of the teak and hemp look. Price available on request from Red.

From the Red description :

Solid teak and hemp modular seating group by Hans Olsen circa late 1950’s. Phenomenally designed, each piece is removable so it is multi functional. The entire arrangement can be used in a long line or used as an l with the sofa and love seat. Each seat is removable as well to make 4 low profile chairs. The benches as can also be used with the cushions to form their own seating without the chairs.
