Design Commune

Design Commune reveals the evolution of Roman Alonso and Steven Johanknecht’s acclaimed design studio, rooted firmly in the California aesthetic, ethos, and lifestyle. Truly multidisciplinary in practice, Commune has, since its inception in 2004, tackled all areas of design. The work featured in this book highlights all disciplines that Commune engages in. Its projects share many common threads, such as the influence of handcrafted materials, but each remains deeply personal and unique. Though in Los Angeles, the designers at Commune come from around the country, and around the world, and bring an artist’s perspective to their business and their style. They provide a collaboration that is truly at the crossroads between commerce and art. Oversize and overflowing with full-color photographs showcasing color and ideas, this is a book that will inspire designers with its variety, its color, and its practical artistry.
