Recently did a project with the site ofakind.com

They commission smaller lines and designers to make limited edition pieces for them.

Did a gradient bracelet in brass for them. Turned out pretty nice.

Our friends Adam and Ryan came over to the workspace and did an amazing job making a film for us. We wanted to show a little bit of the process that so heavily defines how and why we do what we do. Enjoy.
