		<title>Min&#228; Perhonen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t help but feel instantly charmed by fabrics from Minä Perhonen, a clothing and textile design house from Japan. If the brand sounds familiar, you may have seen or heard of its collaborative projects with Danish textile and furniture manufacturers Kvadrat and Fritz Hansen. The folk-inspired designs blend frolicsome graphic patterns with plucky colors and rich textures. Take a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hong Kong Living</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love the efficiency of this tiny Hong Kong apartment! Architect Gary Chang designed an elaborate system of movable walls with folding furniture, allowing a flexible configuration of twenty-four spaces within a tiny footprint of 300 square feet. Chang gutted the interior, opening up the entire space for a fresh overhaul. He also warmed up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jim Denevan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember how much fun it is to draw in the sand at the beach, using naught but your finger or a stick? Jim Denevan offers a fresh take on sand art, albeit at an enormous and prolific scale. He&#8217;s graced northern California with hundreds of beach drawings, each disappearing as nature takes its course: sun, [...]]]></description>

Here are some photos of his work &#8212; these and more stunning images can be found on his website.

In a dramatic interplay of the museum&#8217;s strong architectural lines, its diverse art collection, and otherworldly floristry, this exhibition offers the public a fresh take on contemporary design principles. Members of the Fine Arts Museums can enjoy a preview evening [...]]]></description>

		<title>National Record Store Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hooray for National Record Store Day! I went by Aquarius Records and picked up the new Pantha du Prince album, Black Noise, on vinyl. It&#8217;s every bit as good as This Bliss (2007), and includes pop-infused tracks produced with Panda Bear (Animal Collective) and Tyler Pope (!!!, LCD Soundsystem). There&#8217;s even a nod toward the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Muir Woods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some pix from a recent trip up to Muir Woods. It&#8217;s just a little way past the Golden Gate Bridge, near Mill Valley. With plenty of recent rain, the entire park exploded with new redwood growth, sorrel and wildflowers in a multitude of colors!]]></description>
