Shwood for Atlantic Records Collection

Atlantic Records is classic. It’s revolutionary. It has pushed the envelope of popular music since it introduced jazz and R&B to the masses 60 years ago. And now Shwood is pleased to play a role in Atlantic’s legacy of experimentation and quality.

Introducing the Shwood for Atlantic Records Collection. Two versions of our classic Canby shape, both integrating genuine Atlantic vinyl records for a look as effortless as the music it embodies.

McNabb & Co. Studio

Philadelphia based McNabb & Co. Studio offers a refreshing and unique take on fine woodworking in their project, “The City Series”. Founder James McNabb meticulously uses a bandsaw to individually shape small pieces of various wood species, eventually combining them into stunning collages of sorts. The abstracted architectural forms come together in an interesting perspective on urban sprawl, and when combined with the application into the mediums of furniture and wall art. The final products are stunning pieces certainly fitting for any urban loft. In his own words, “Each piece depicts the outsider’s perspective of the urban landscape. Made entirely of scrap wood, this work is an interpretation of making something out of nothing.”

We don’t typically feature a lot of product here on Experiment with Nature, but this one was too cool to pass up. Introducing FLYTE : “FLYTE is a levitating light which hovers by magnetic levitation and is powered through the air. With FLYTE, we’ve set the lightbulb free.”

The bulb features cutting edge technology paired with a natural wood grain aesthetic and feel. Plus, with some small extra hardware, the base will charge your phone, and who doesn’t love that? Check out some photos of the product below and see the Kickstarter HERE.

For the 18th installment of our Journeys series, we follow along with Carey Quinton Haider on a trip exploring the Western USA. In Carey’s words “The route I would take and the things I planned on seeing were a mystery card. I packed my bags on Wednesday May 28th, 2014 and met my cousin on Mt. Hood. The journey would be taken with his truck and trailer.”

For the 17th installment of our Journeys series, we follow along with Amanda Leigh Smith on a motorcycle trip across South America. In her own words: “In November of 2013, my boyfriend and his best friend left on the journey of a lifetime riding two custom Honda XR600s from Whistler, Canada to the southern most town of South America: Ushuaia, Argentina. On James’ way back north I met him in Pucón, Chile in April, and from there we would ride together on his motorcycle as far north as we could make it. In the end we rode over 8,500 miles on both pavement and dirt though 6 countries until we reached Bogotá, Colombia three months later.”

Built Not Bought

Great video feature on the value of making things by the crew at Visual Revolutionary. Check out the profile they put together of Greg Fuller and his perspective on the resurgence of the “Maker” culture.

Greg offers a compelling opinion on how the majority of the work most of us do these days is somewhat intangible, leaving us often without the physical proof of a product at the end of a long days’ work. He feels this desire for tangible creation is fueling the resurgence of our desire to make, create, and produce.

Excited for more episodes of this series!
