While remodeling our own home, I learned that all of this fancy equipment we seem to need for our TV’s and music systems needs air to circulate. Modern Metal to the rescue! This summer, we’ve had many requests for AV cabinetry inserts, which is reminding me of this fabulous application for our metal. Panel inserts are […]
One thing I look back on as one of the most valuable skills I learned in my first jobs was the importance of listening to the customer. I came from RISD’s Textile Design program which intentionally shielded us from the industry so that we could find our own way, without being influenced by others. Best […]
What a treat it was for me to visit the Pasadena Showcase House of Design 2023! This was my first time attending, and I was honored to have Modern Metal be participating as a vendor. The entire experience feels serendipitous because I have emerged with new colleagues, friends, and more love for the interior design […]
For me, Pointcarre software is far more than just a CAD program. During my years working as a Textile Designer at Maharam, I was trained in Pointcarre. At the time, I believe we went to the offices in NYC to get our training. There, I used it to create patterns for jacquard wovens, and my […]
This is a project we did years ago with Altanta designer extraordinaire Janie Wilburn of The Jane Group. Janie is one of my favorite people to work with, and she always brings true southern hospitality and spirit to our creative collaborations. This job was super fun! It is resurfacing now because all of a sudden […]
Whenever I present our custom design capabilities to new firms and clients, the first thing I always say is that it’s truly creative collaborative process, and it’s fun. The end result is always unique and distinctively designed to make a space that much more meaningful for the end user. I’m working on a job right now […]
A sneak peek at this fabulous project! Shown above are just a few of the many panels we did for the design team at Strata Landscape Architecture. This was our first project together, and it was great! The designers at Strata had a vision, and that was to take our Hasu pattern, and customize it […]
We were honored to be approached by Nancy Joseph of Nancy Joseph Marketing to help provide a visual and functional solution to an existing not so pretty doorbell cover. Modern Metal WAS the solution! The home, designed by architect Charles Du Bois in the late 1960’s was one of six gorgeous homes on tour this […]
Today I was in the neighborhood on this beautiful sunny, chilly winter California day, and couldn’t resist paying a visit to a favorite project. This is a building designed by Rob Zirkle and his team of talents @brick. architecture and is located at 650 Live Oak in Menlo Park, CA. If you’re ever in the area, […]
All of the pieces in our ready to ship line, with the exception of the black floor grilles, come in our standard white powder coat, which we’ve named Whiteout. This is an intentional choice I made because I love leaving the option open for you to paint the wall or ceiling vents on site to […]
What could be better than having the opportunity to break down my design process, and to share the “how” and “why” behind my authentic designs to fellow creatives and the public at large? Not much! To celebrate Be Original America’s ten year anniversary, they invited members to play an active part in this milestone. Members […]
I LOVE this project so much! Not only is the outcome fabulous for these lucky chicks, but the backstory of how this came to be is one we’re proud to share. Most of all, I’m excited that our panels were upcycled in such a creative way. I am always looking for ways to make our company […]
