Dear Design Cove community!
It has been simply wonderful working as the admin for the Design Cove. I have loved posting amazing dynamic content. I wanted to inform you of some exciting news! I have moved to Tokyo, Japan to be a student missionary here for the next 5 months. During this time I will have very little access to the internet and will be focusing on the work here in the country. For this reason, the posts on the Design Cove will pause.

When I return to the states, I will resume posting on a regular basis. If you are interested, you can follow my Japan blog http://ywamtokyo.tumblr.com/

Also, I have started posting photos I have taken in Japan so far. You can see them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanderengel/

Thank you again for everything. And stay tuned. : )

Designed by House Industries | Country: United States

“This time a custom House Industries block set design commissioned by friends at Herman Miller Japan. I thought I’d try to roll all of my favorites into this one… Andy Warhol, Maria Montessori and, of course, the Herman Miller trifecta; Nelson, Eames and Girard.

Each set includes eight basswood children’s blocks dressed in House Industries numbers, shapes and patterns. The puzzle sides are based on the original Herman Miller furniture box that was used to deliver American modernism. We then packaged the “box” in a miniature corrugated shipping carton. Took us a while to sniff out the tiny brown kraft packing tape, but solving specky details like “tape scale” allows me to sleep at night. It was all made in the USA (Grand Rapids, Michigan) by Uncle Goose and Advance Packaging.

The House for Herman Miller Japan blocks are only available at the new Herman Miller showroom store in Tokyo, Japan.”
