FOLLOW | ENRIQUE MARTÍNEZ CELAYA

 


Internationally renowned and recognized, Enrique Martínez Celaya is the first Provost Professor of Humanities and Arts at the University of Southern California, along with an extensive list of other accomplishments and skills. Artist, author, former scientist, Montgomery Fellow at Dartmouth College....not to mention having his work featured in multiple exhibits ranging from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia to the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. There isn't much that Martínez Celaya hasn't done or isn't going to create. His next show is in Berlin, Germany and is a collaboration with the deceased painter and printmaker, Käthe Kollwitz. That's all a lot of information, so we would suggest starting by checking out his Instagram here and letting his art do the talking. 

 

 

 

SHOP | CHELSEA MILLER KNIVES

 


Growing up in Vermont, Chelsea Miller learned the importance of natural resources, ingenuity and durable creations from her parents and the environment around her. Carrying this knowledge over into adulthood, she forged a new connection with her father as she learned metallurgy and woodworking from him. After his death, creating these beautiful and extremely useful pieces became another way to celebrate him, process loss, and express herself in new ways. Her knives (as well as cutting boards and other kitchenware) are utilitarian works of art, with crosshatched teeth that make them useful for grating as well as uniquely stunning additions to any kitchen. Buying one isn't just an investment in a quality product - it's an investment into an inherited passion and dedication to what we learn from our parents and in turn make our own. That in itself is pretty priceless.
