THE STORY Founded in Los Angeles in 1985 by husband-and-wife team Adrian Olabuenaga and Lesley Bailey,ACME Studio was launched with a limited-edition collection of jewelry designed by Peter Shire, the LA-based member of the world-renowned Memphis Group. Soon after the initial debut, and with the help of writer Barbara Radice and designer/architect Ettore Sottsass, ACME released a larger collection of more than 100 pieces, entitled MEMPHIS DESIGNERS for ACME. Unbeknownst to Adrian and Lesley, this collection would change the jewelry industry just as the Memphis Group’s furniture dramatically changed the design world. Other than Memphis Milano, ACME was the first company to work with all fourteen Memphis designers, including such recognized names as Andrea Branzi, Aldo Cibic, Michele De Lucchi, Matteo Thun, Ettore Sottsass, and many others. The collection debuted at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum the year after its introduction, alongside the MEMPHIS touring show, which made its last stop at the museum before returning to Italy. Now, many pieces from this collection can be found in the permanent collections of museums around the world; the entire series holds a place in the permanent collection of the Groninger Museum in Holland. On the heels of this successful first introduction, ACME presented several additional collections, including “Architects for ACME,” “Artists for ACME,” “Alchimia for ACME,” “ACME Collection,” and many others. ACME is proud to have built its extensive product line on collaborations with a multitude of designers, architects, artists and influencers from diverse backgrounds and specializations, securing their place among the frontrunners of the design industry. After relocating to Hawaii in 1988,ACME ventured further into the world of accessories with wristwatches, men’s accessories (cufflinks, card cases, etc.) and small leather goods designed by globally recognized designers, artists and architects. During this time, ACME also completed a one-of-a-kind architectural endeavor, CASA MAUI, designed specifically for Adrian and Lesley by architect/designer (and dear friend) Ettore Sottsass. In 1997, ACME released its first collection of fine writing tools. Always at the forefront of modern and contemporary design, this introduction revolutionized a new concept within the pen industry.Twelve years later, in 2009, ACME took their standard of innovation even further and produced the first bio-degradable, disposable pen with an ergonomic Earth-friendly design. In the same year, ACME was nominated for a National Design Award in Corporate Achievement by the CooperHewitt, National Design Museum. The following year, ACME was again nominated, this time in two categories: Product Design and Corporate Achievement. In 2012 ACME won the Japanese Good Design Award. (Thank you Yasunori-san!!) ACME is sold in high-end retail locations worldwide.The first ACME flagship store opened on April 27, 2007, in Tokyo, Japan. The space, designed by Adrian, showcases the hundreds of ACME designs currently in production. In February 2009, the design was released for a store in the Fukuoka Airport of Japan. In June 2013, ACME Studio celebrated the opening of a new store in Fukuoka, its third store in Japan and their first exclusive store in Mexico City. In 2011, ACME launched The Beatles collection, the result of a licensing agreement with Apple Corps, Ltd. and in 2012 they introduced several new projects including Le Corbusier, known as the father of Modernism, featuring his signature on each piece. In 2013, ACME released the first ever all brass pen called Hatch, which is designed to take advantage of the innate properties of brass and its remarkable ability to self-sterilize. ACME will be releasing many more projects in 2014, including one done with the band Pink Floyd and new colorful versions of the Bullet pen. ACME Studio has elevated the standard for fine writing instruments by pushing the boundaries of production while maintaining the highest standard of quality and integrity. From the strong relationships ACME builds with their artists and designers to the company’s inspiring facilities in Maui, ACME Studio has earned a place as a recognized leader in superior product design.

In 1983 she opened Emotional Outlet, featuring her own unique products and jewelry designs, for which she has won many awards. During this time she also designed jewelry collections for a famous fashion house in Sydney to go with the latest collections of Chloe, Lagerfield, Rykiel, Ungaro, and Valentino, each of which was coordinated to be sold with the outfits. In 1985, she co-founded ACME Studios with her husband Adrian Olabuenaga. SHIGERU BAN, born in Tokyo in 1957, is a Japanese architect who studied at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and the Cooper Union School of Architecture, where he graduated in 1984. He opened his own Tokyo based practice in 1985. Ban’s work is notable for linking natural and built environments and for its economic use of resources. As a consultant for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in the 1990s, Ban created emergency housing from paper tubes for victims of the Rwandan civil war - designs that were redeployed for victims of the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan. In the United States, Ban is perhaps best know for his Curtain Wall House in Tokyo, a highlight of the Museum of Modern Art’s 1999 exhibition The Un-Private House.

FREDI BRODMANN , born in Vienna in 1956, attended the Academy for Applied Arts. His talents for cartoons soon caught the attention of editors of leading publications. A stay in New York left deep impressions on Fred. Back in Europe, he published his own cartoon book “They Always Come Down” about air travel. Other books followed and were very successful. Brodmann started to apply his cartoons to watches. Today “QB” and “WATCH-ME” are internationally sold trademarks. Established in 1987 in New York he founded Visual Visions Inc., Art, Fun & Function. Brodmann is a very intense and talented designer. The sense of humor apparent in his entire work is always spontaneous, refreshingly funny and (almost) never nasty.
CAMPANA is the company founded by brothers Humberto (born in 1953) and Fernando (born in 1961). Their São Paulo based office, Campana Objetos, has become world renowned in the last five years as being one of the most fascinating ateliers for the design and production of contemporary furniture. In fact, their work has won them numerous awards.

Exploding into the jazz world in 1971, STANLEY CLARKE was a lanky teenager from the Philadelphia Academy of Music. He arrived in New York City and immediately landed jobs with famous bandleaders such as: Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Joe Henderson, Pharaoh Saunders, Gil Evans, Stan Getz, and a budding young pianist composer named Chick Corea. Clarke recognized the opportunity to propel the bass into a viable melodic soloist role and was uniquely qualified to do just that. He single-handedly started the 1970s “bass revolution,” paving the way for all bassistsoloistbandleaders to follow. Clarke has won literally every major award available to a bass player: Grammys, Emmys, gold and platinum records, walks of fame- you name it. He was Rolling Stone’s very first Jazzman of the Year, and bassist winner of Playboy’s Music Award for ten straight years. Stanley Clarke became the first bassist in history to headline tours, selling out shows worldwide, and have his albums certified gold. The word “legend” was used to describe Stanley by the time he was 25 years old. His artistry has spanned classical, jazz, R&B and pop idioms. He has already succeeded in a multitude of diverse careers, any one of which would be satisfactory to anyone else. Yet he still pushes on, as invigorated and as passionate about music as that teenage prodigy from Philadelphia with a dream. 06
THE FAMILY A National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, 17-time Grammy winner, prolific composer and undisputed keyboard virtuoso, CHICK COREA has attained living legend status after four decades of unparalleled creativity and an artistic output that is simply staggering. From straight ahead to avant-garde, bebop to fusion, children’s songs to chamber music, along with some far-reaching forays into symphonic works, Chick has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his illustrious career while maintaining a standard of excellence that is awe-inspiring. A tirelessly creative spirit, Chick continues to forge ahead, continually reinventing himself in the process. Since embarking on a solo career in 1966, Chick has been at the forefront of jazz, both as a renowned pianist forging new ground with his acoustic jazz bands and as an innovative electric keyboardist with Return to Forever and the Elektric Band. His extensive discography boasts numerous essential albums, beginning with his 1968 classic, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs.Chick continues to make a significant impact on the scene, as evidenced by 2007’s Grammy-winning The Enchantment (duets with banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck), 2008‘s The New Crystal Silence (duets with longstanding collaborator Gary Burton), 2009’s Returns (documenting Return To Forever’s 2008 reunion tour) and 2009’s Grammy-winning Five Peace Band Live (with John McLaughlin, Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett and Vinnie Colaiuta), and 2011’s Latin Grammy winner Forever (with Stanley Clarke and Lenny White). LEONARDO DA VINCI was born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy. His name is synonymous with ability, creative power, intellect, and achievement. Not only were his paintings of superb beauty and sublime content that place them among the world’s masterpieces, but in his lifetime, his scientific investigations of geology, botany, anatomy, hydraulics, as well as his theoretical work in mathematics, attest to the penetration of his genius. The celebrated Mona Lisa’s smile has caused speculation by observers through the centuries, but The Last Supper is of more interest to art lovers because it is a supreme example of his masterful abilities of composition. In fact, all of his painting was based on his great knowledge and observational powers.
MICHELE DE LUCCHI was born in 1951, and received his degree from the College of Architecture in Florence . He stablished “Cavart”, the group which played the leading role in Radical Architecture while in college. De Lucchi was a design consultant for Olivetti Synthesis at Massa in 1979. He designed the office furniture system for automation, “Icarus”, jointly with Ettore Sottsass Jr. in 1982. With Sottsass, they undertook the image and furnishings for Fiorucci Showrooms in Italy and Europe. He participated in the Triennale exhibitions in 1979 and 1983. De Lucchi is also a leading member of the design group, Memphis. He has designed for ACME since 1985.
MICHAEL DORET grew up in Brooklyn, NY near Coney Island—the influence of which is permanently etched in his work. He graduated from Cooper Union, and went on to start his own design studio in New York. His work revitalized the art of hand-lettering by expanding it into the areas of illustration and graphic design—initially inspiring many imitators, many of whom have moved on to making their own contributions to the art form. He currently runs his studio out of Hollywood, CA, sharing it with wife, illustrator Laura Smith. Michael is an eight time recipient of the NY Art Director’s Club Silver Award, and has exhibited work in all the major industry shows and annuals.You’re pr obably familiar with his work without even knowing it: if you’ve seen his logo for the NY Knicks or one of his many Time covers then you’re familiar with the power and dynamism he has brought to the art of hand-lettering for many years. He’s also designed record and CD covers—from Kiss’ infamous “Rock and Roll Over” to his Grammy Award nominated design for the Squirrel Nut Zippers. ROD DYER has been honored by many of the top awards presented in the fields of advertising and design, including the Art Director’s clubs of New York and Los Angeles, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the International Annual of Letterhead design, the Society of Publication Designers, the ONE Show in New York, Communications Arts Magazine, and the Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards. Rod is also responsible for some of the most recognizable logos and symbols, such as the Disney Channel, Entertainment Tonight, Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Heaven, MCA, Gramercy Pictures, Surround Sound, and graphics for Guess Jeans, just to name a few.
CHARLES and RAY EAMES are ranked among the finest American designers of the twentieth century. They are best known for their ground-breaking contributions to architecture, furniture design (the Eames Chair), industrial design and manufacturing, and the photographic arts. The legacy of this husband and wife team includes more than 100 films that reflect the breadth and depth of their interests and the integrity of their vision. Theirs was design collaboration in the deepest sense, and all their work, whether graphics, film or furniture was a product of their collective design process and philosophy. These products are approved and certified by the Eames Office, which is dedicated to communicating, preserving, and extending the work of Charles and Ray Eames.
One of the most prolific and recognizable artists alive today, New York-based painter and street artist RON ENGLISH has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, in museums, in movies, books, television, and album covers. English coined the term POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural touchstones, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, to create a visual language of evolution. Ron English is as well-known for his stunning technique and inventive use of color and comic book collage as he is for the unique cast of characters he has created, including camo deer, sexualized cows and rabbits, skeletal figures, Marilyn Monroe with Mickey Mouse breasts, the corpulent fast food spokesman MC Supersized, and one of his most significant creations, Abraham Obama, a fusion of America’s 16th and 44th Presidents. In addition to his fine art painting, English is widely considered a catalytic figure in the advancement of street art away from traditional wild-style lettering and into clever statement and masterful trompe l’oeil based art. Creating illegal murals and billboards that blend stunning visuals with biting political, consumerist and surrealist statements, English has hijacked public space worldwide for the sake of art. ANA MIR and EMILI PADRÓS are MA ID Master of Arts in Industrial Design in the Central Saint Martins School of Arts and Design, London. In 1996 Ana and Emili founded Emiliana Design Studio based in Barcelona, working together on different commissions and at the same time developing individual research projects. Emiliana Design Studio combines product design, furniture, lighting, design spaces and exhibitions. Several of their designs are submitted to the permanent collection of Indianapolis Museum of Art, Fons Nationale d´Art Contemporain of France and Museu d’Arts Decoratives of Barcelona. They participated at MoMA Museum of Modern Art of New York in “Safe: Design Takes on Risk” and “Design and the Elastic Mind.” The vision of Emiliana Design Studio begins from the experimentation and the prospective new scenes, where the objective is that the relationship between objects, spaces and users are the most emotional, participatory and creative potential.
CHRIS “DAZE” ELLIS started to doing graffiti in 1977 while he was a high school student at the High School of Art and Design. The name Daze comes out of the desire to assume a pseudonym that contained the letters “E” and ”Z”, because no other writer had taken these letters. His creative and artistic nature encouraged him to find wide, open spaces; he would take over an entire subway car, developing images in the volumes it offered, looking to create a broader master piece. Daze was driven by the need to manifest one’s desires, and express awareness of one’s existence, drove to create rich and harmonious imagery of transforming the process of writing into a true system of image making. The letters are bound together “one inside of the other”, interacting so as to make a new three dimensional space, where characters recede in perspective, allowing them to acquire sculptural depth.
SHEPARD FAIREY has long been haunting consumer culture with an ambitious mocking street campaign featuring an omnipresent Andre the Giant. An astute student in the arts of persuasion, Fairey began his epic satire on the science of celebrity endorsements and the alchemy of suggesting desire back in 1989, while he was still a student at The Rhode Island School of Design. Since then his propaganda has been proliferated through stickers, clothing, skateboards, posters, stencil based graffiti and even a documentary film, to spread over the United States and the unsuspecting world at large. Currently based in Los Angeles, where his design firm Number One is landing high-level corporate accounts from companies eager to see how his commercial parodies can help sell their products, Fairey’s rising success has helped transform his once homemade Xerox style into lush multi-colored screen prints.
TODD FALKOWSKY grew up in Canada. He chased a career in rally car racing: a year later he was left injured and dreaming of a softer career. He then enrolled into Canada’s premier Industrial Design program at Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in Vancouver. After 3 years he moved to Holland to complete an architecture degree. Here he started the skateboard company, Rues Skateboarden and had his first design go into light production (a chair for Spin Industries). In his grad year, he worked for Karim Rashid Inc. in New York. Falkowsky then moved to Milan, pursuing post graduate studies at the Domus Academy and working as a senior designer at Jerszy Seymour Design Inc. His work is in collections in Holland and in private collections in the USA, Italy, UK and Canada. Todd has recently relocated to Toronto, Canada and is also a Professor at OCAD.

THE FAMILY GIOVANNELLA FORMICA, born in Florence, 1957. She graduated in architecture in 1982. She was the assistant for the planning course held by Remo Buti at the University of Florence for 1 year, and for 6 years collaborated with Sottsass Associati in Milan. In 1987 she opened her studio with Beppe Caturegli, and undertook industrial design projects in Japan for Sanyo and Max Ray, and architectural projects in Italy and India. In 1989 they won 1st place in the competition on invitation for a residential settlement. In 1993 they won the first prize at the ‘Pantone European Color Awards’ for architecture. Since 1993 they have been advisers for the Computer Associates, for which they plan the Italian branch in Milan and Rome.

ANTONI GAUDI, (1852-1926) born in Reus, Spain, is one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. His collaborations with local artisans produced some of the most experimental and visually striking structures in Spain. His overtly unorthodox homes, churches, furniture and interiors reveal his intricate ability to utilize a wide variety of materials - most notably his colorful use of ceramic mosaic tiling. Some of his greatest accomplishments included: Casa Milá (1906-1910) - an artificial yet natural building which can be seen as a summary of all the forms he has become famous for. Güell Park (1900-1914), a recreational area in Barcelona, draws its forms from natural elements, creating structures which often mimic the organic. Sagrada Familia (1883), is a church reminiscent of the Gothic tradition, but the ornate use of sculpture and mosaic tiling is unmistakably Gaudi. This was his final, and most important project.
MICHAEL GRAVES , FAIA, has been at the forefront of architecture and design since he founded his practice in Princeton , New Jersey in 1964. Cited by Paul Goldberger, former New York Times critic, as “the most truly original voice American architecture has produced in some time,” Graves has received many prestigious awards, including the 1999 National Medal of Arts and the 2001 Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects. He is the Robert Schirmer Professor of Architecture, Emeritus, at Princeton University where he taught for nearly 40 years. Among his completed projects are the Walt Disney Swan, Dolphin Hotels and the Walt Disney Corporate Headquarters in Burbank. He began designing for ACME in 1995.
JOHANNA GRAWUNDER, originally from San Diego, CA., studied architecture at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, and completed her qualification with a final year in Florence. In the early 1980’s, Memphis was making waves in the Design world, and its spirit and styled lured Grawunder to Milan, and in turn was given a job by Memphis founder, Ettore Sottsass. Indeed, she designs like an Italian, like the protégé of Sottsass that she is. Her intention is not to be aggressive or provocative, but as she says, “to produce work that is ironic and positive.”
STEVEN GUARNACCIA is an illustrator and designer who has designed watches for Swatch, cards for the Museum of Modern Art, N.Y., jewelry for ACME, and rugs for Reactor. His picture books include Goldilocks and the Three Bears: A Tale Moderne, published by Abrams. Steven has had one-man shows in New York, Toronto and Milan, and has designed murals for Disney Cruise Lines. He is on the faculty of the MFA Design Program at the School of Visual Arts.

Born in Canada’s version of the deep south, BEV HOGUE found escape in illustration, creating a world that was not of this world. After national success as a graphic designer, her work went international in 1999, when a Montreal art patron invited her into the New Millennium volume bound for libraries of The Tate, Uffizi and Sorbonne, among other leading art institutions worldwide. In exhibitions from New York to Chicago, California to Chiang Mai, her blue portraits of women and wildlife would be a hit with collectors, including Lisa Marie Presley and Rachel McAdams. A fascination for Surrealism conspired with her Romanian roots to produce a dark, dreamy style. As a recognized member of the Lowbrow movement, she is comfortable mixing fashion and decor with fine art pursuits. The blend of products and paintings that she calls “Blue or Nothing” is a playful, unpredictable study of the female form that takes shape on large canvas paintings, on lamps and even bowling ball designs. Respect for creatures of all creed is evident in the odd beauty of “Night of the Living Deb” or the primal innocence of “Midnight Matinee” -- a signature piece from which she drew upon for an ACME pen. Though the work meditates on the blue motif, it’s not so much about color as it is about conviction. It’s living with a broken heart, not a broken spirit. IRIS INTERTHAL was born in 1969 in Germany. After more than 12 years of marketing experience in the dental industry, she studied visual communications in Stuttgart, where she established her own design studio in 2002.

LE CORBUSIER, born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris in 1887 in Switzerland, was an architect, designer, urbanist, and writer, famous for being one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India, Japan and America. He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities. In 1918, Le Corbusier met the Cubist painter Amédée Ozenfant. Rejecting Cubism as irrational and “romantic”, the pair jointly published their manifesto,‘Après le cubisme’ and established a new artistic movement, Purism.They established the Purist journal ‘L’Esprit nouveau’. It was Le Corbusier’sVilla Savoye (1929–1931) that most succinctly summed up his five points of architecture that he had elucidated in ’L’Esprit Nouveau’ and his book ‘Vers une architecture’. By 1927, Le Corbusier was among the world’s leading practitioners of the New Architecture. He collaborated with Charlotte Perriand on furniture – including the LC4 – which is still an icon of modern design. Around 1942, he formulated his “Modulor” theory to facilitate architecture on a human scale. In the 1950s, an opportunity to translate the Radiant City on a large scale occurred in the construction of the Union Territory Chandigarh and the first planned city in India. In 1952, the first ‘Unité d’Habitation’ was completed in Marseille, followed by further modular residential units and the pilgrimage chapel at Ronchamps in 1955 – He died in 1965 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France.

CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH was born in Dennistoun, Glasgow in 1868. He attended evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art from 1883 to 1894 and this undoubtedly had a stimulating effect on him, with the influence of fellow apprentice James Herbert MacNair. In 1896, Rennie won the competition to design a new Glasgow School of Art, and this building is still acclaimed as one of the most significant buildings of the past century.

THE FAMILY JOHN McLAUGHLIN (born 4 January 1942 in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England), also known as Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, is an English jazz and jazz fusion guitarist and composer. He played with Tony Williams’ group Lifetime and then with Miles Davis on his landmark electric jazz-fusion albums In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and Jack Johnson. His 1970s electric band, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, performed a technically virtuosic and complex style of music that fused eclectic jazz and rock with eastern and Indian influences. McLaughlin has been cited as a major influence on many generations from the ‘70s and ‘80s fusion guitarists, prominent players such as Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Mike Stern, Al Di Meola, Pebber Brown and Scott Henderson. His influence did not stop in the 80’s, as hardcore punk guitarist Greg Ginn of Black Flag cited Birds of Fire by The Mahavishnu Orchestra which inspired him to record more progressive guitar work and even record instrumental songs. According to Pat Metheny, McLaughlin has changed the evolution of the guitar during several of his periods of playing. In an interview with Downbeat, Chick Corea remarked that “...what John McLaughlin did with the electric guitar set the world on its ear. No one ever heard an electric guitar played like that before, and it certainly inspired me. John’s band, more than my experience with Miles, led me to want to turn the volume up and write music that was more dramatic and made your hair stand on end”. In 2010, Jeff Beck called him “the best guitarist alive”. RICHARD MEIER is an American born architecture graduate of Cornell University.

In 2O12 Robert Stadler receives the “Prix Liliane Bettencourt pour l’Intelligence de la main” together with Siegeair’s craftsmen. Robert Stadler intervenes in very diverse fields, obliterating all hierarchies between free proposals, industrial and public commissions. He explores the exhibition space in order to scramble the usual categories of art and design. He questions the status of the object as work of art or product as well as the border of preciousness / lowliness and the serious / the absurd. Raised in Cadillac, Michigan, MANDY STEHOUWER’s creativity and passion for art and design lead her to the Cleveland Institute of Art. After winning the IDSA National Student Merit Award, she graduated with a BFA in industrial design and joined Continuum, a global design consultancy. Mandy’s inspiration comes from objects with an interesting history, such as old industrial parts from factories and antiques from mid-century homes. She enjoys refurbishing them into unconventional applications giving them a second life with new meaning. As Mandy spends a lot of her time working with space on a large scale, the opportunity to scale down her everyday workspace served as the inspiration for the “Dollhaus” design for ACME. We tend to think of dollhouses as children’s toys, but in their earlier history, they were filled with miniature household items and were solely the playthings of adults. This pen captures the vibrant, collaborative activities in the day-to-day working life of Continuum’s design studio. Coincidentally, Continuum’s West Coast office, is housed in the original Eames Office, whom ACME has also worked with for many years.

In 1984 Thun founded his own Design Studio in Milan. He represents the “2nd Generation” of modern architects. Not easy to define from a stylistic point of view, he differenciates “his artwork” from the other prominent “signature-architects”of the eighties by his distrust versus settled thinking and working models. Thun has always avoided a defined identity, neither in architecture nor in design, because a specified identity would only put pressure on him to always create the same type of works.
PAUL TIMMAN was born in Toledo, Ohio and his family lived somewhat of a nomadic lifestyle. Constant changes and new experiences are what he credits for his artistic expressions. He first tattooed friends and classmates while attending the Cleveland Institute of Art, instantly finding his true calling.

“What good is fashion unless it stirs up genuine emotion” - SUE WONG. At the age of six, Sue Wong and her mother narrowly escaped communist China and it’s purges. They joined her father in Los Angeles and Sue became intoxicated by everything that shaped Hollywood Style: the slinky seductresses and dangerously handsome actors of the pre-code silver screen, the decadence of Weimar Berlin, the fervor of Jazz Age Manhattan, the exotic intrigue of 1930’s Shanghai, the heady excitement of bohemian Paris - all inspire her life and inform her work. Alluring and evocative, a Sue Wong design often echoes period style while remaining modern and utterly of the moment. Sold in over 20 countries, her collection enchants as it empowers, leaving a trail of speechless romantics in it’s wake.
Born in Wisconsin, USA, in 1867, FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT grew up to be America’s greatest and most innovative Architect. His legacy is one of America’s foremost cultural treasures. In 1940, he established The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to protect, preserve and administer his life’s work. In 1991, Architectural Record magazine published a list of the 100 most significant buildings in the world - 11 were by Frank Lloyd Wright.
ANNETT WURM, born 1964 in Germany, studied communication designs at the University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden. During her studies her attention and commitment was soon attracted to the art of calligraphy. She also worked freelance on the topics of graphics, photography and animation for the governmental German TV broadcaster ZDF and for advertising agencies. In the years following she accompanied several companies of different branches and business segment with the main focus on corporate design. In assitancy she planned, organized and designed permanent as well as temporary presentations in Germany and Switzerland. Her exceeding aptitude for calligraphy led to long-term and solid engagement for well-known manufacturers of greeting cards in Germany and the United Kingdom.
SOUPHATRA XAYPANYA (süp - hət - tä sī – pa-n-yä) : After her family barely escaped communist Laos, she was born in a refugee camp in Thailand, in 1979. Her family then moved to Connecticut in 1980 where she was raised. Her passion for art and design has been immensely apparent since her adolescence. She later received her B.F.A from The Pratt Institute in New York, in 2002 majoring in Communication and Graphic Design. She has worked with leading design firms including BMW’s design studio in New York, working on such projects as architecture, material, product and graphic design trend research. She finds inspiration in fashion, art, design, her photography, and most recently, product design and development.
KARL ZAHN is a freelance product and furniture designer in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. His work examines contemporary materials and historical technologies in an attempt to create modern hybrids that are more applicable, beautiful and sustainable. While the product design portion of his work is driven by problem solving and necessity, the furniture side expresses his pared down simplicity and stark aesthetic as a blend of modernist hard lines and surfaces with a Danish sensitivity to materials and joinery. Each piece is designed to withstand the passing of trends and foster complex relationships that grow more endearing over time. BFA ID Rhode Island School of Design, 2003.
EVA ZEISEL (1906 - 2011) was born in Budapest. She was apprenticed to a ceramist and soon became one of the first female journeyman potters, holding positions at the Kispester factory, and for Christian Carstens Kommerz. In 1938, she immigrated to the United States where she designed giftware for the Bay Ridge Specialty Company. When she started teaching at Pratt in 1939, a position she held until 1953, she arranged an apprenticeship for students through Bay Ridge, offering an opportunity to gain professional experience. She received great acclaim for the system. In 1942, the Castleton company asked Zeisel to create a series that would define a new era of modern china, and her 1946 series was unveiled at a solo show called “Modern China by Eva Zeisel.” She followed this high profile line with the colorful, and playful, 1946 “Town and Country” dinnerware for Red Wing Pottery. The popular series, recently reissued, featured bulbous, cartoon-like handles and bases.

9 WRITING TOOLS: “1962” - “1970” Since designing and product development is what we do and what we specialize in, we wanted part of this project to use designs that we had completely developed on our own and to avoid using anything that had ever been used or seen before. The direction that we decided to pursue with this approach was to develop nine pens: One for each of the years that The Beatles were together. The concept behind these nine pen designs was for each one to be evocative of the look and feel of each year, as well as their personal transformation as time passed, including their hairstyles, clothes and their maturing attitude which, at the time, directly influenced all of us. The pens begin with “1962” portraying the fresh faced lads as the world first saw them and through each year thereafter. This includes their first US tour, their parallels to 60’s fashion, their colorful psychedelic explorations, all the way to the last design, “1970”, when they went their separate ways. This last design, “1970”, which was designed by Rod Dyer, is meant as a metaphor of their break up expressed by placing each of them in separate white circles on a black background. Each pen is handmade, and packaged in a beautiful black wooden box.
“INVASION” To give each pen group within this collection its own distinct typology, the cap for each different pen group had to be different, yet simple and compatible enough to work with any colors used on the design of the pen barrel. Many different options were explored, but it was decided that the 9 writing tools would use the classic “drop T” Beatles logo on the cap, the 13 U.K. Albums would only use logos and titles from the albums, and that the 4 Pen Set would use each of their signatures. Meanwhile, we had also developed another cap option using an augmented version of the Union Jack that was used on a compilation album (“The Beatles Story“). This one used red, white, blue and yellow limiting its compatibility with many other colors that we were considering to be used on the barrel. However, we really liked this cap design and were determined to make it work. So, we simply referred back to the album cover that we had started with and used a similar approach as the album for our solution creating similar torn photos of them in blue. The fact that this pen is so unique from the others, required the special treatment of it coming as an interchangeable roller ball and fountain pen. When Rod Dyer came to visit us in Maui on December of 2010, while showing him the progress of The Beatles project, he looked at this design and asked: “This looks really familiar, where did you get the art for this?” After seeing that it came from this particular album cover that was in the Beatles Source Guide, he said: “I designed that when I worked for Capitol Records in 1964!” Since the introduction of this collection, not only has most of it sold out before samples were even made, but the entire collection has been accepted into the permanent collection of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 33

LE CORBUSIER, born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris in 1887 in Switzerland, was an architect, designer, urbanist, and writer, famous for being one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India, Japan and America. He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities. In 1918, Le Corbusier met the Cubist painter Amédée Ozenfant. Rejecting Cubism as irrational and “romantic”, the pair jointly published their manifesto, ‘Après le cubisme’ and established a new artistic movement, Purism. They established the Purist journal ‘L’Esprit nouveau’. It was Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye (1929–1931) that most succinctly summed up his five points of architecture that he had elucidated in ’L’Esprit Nouveau’ and his book ‘Vers une architecture’. By 1927, Le Corbusier was among the world’s leading practitioners of the New Architecture. He collaborated with Charlotte Perriand on furniture – including the LC4 – which is still an icon of modern design. Around 1942, he formulated his “Modulor” theory to facilitate architecture on a human scale. In the 1950s, an opportunity to translate the Radiant City on a large scale occurred in the construction of the Union Territory Chandigarh and the first planned city in India. In 1952, the first ‘Unité d’Habitation’ was completed in Marseille, followed by further modular residential units and the pilgrimage chapel at Ronchamps in 1955 – He died in 1965 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France. © 2012 FLC/ARTEUM

The pen was designed to take advantage of the innate properties of the brass and its remarkable ability to self sterilize. Within a few hours of contact with the brass ions, any bacteria or microorganism dies. While this effect is not new and the concept is centuries old, we don't currently utilize this materials enormous potential.This antiseptic quality lends itself perfectly to situations where hygiene is a priority, including the medical profession. To further highlight the unique qualities and benefits of using this type of tool, the etched graphics relay some of the story or the reasoning behind it. The hatched pattern is an abstraction of cell structure. The gradient of hatch variation can be symbolic of growth or infection, but overall it demonstrates organic change. But in addition to its scientific appearance, the hatch pattern and random layout are also representative of a patchwork quilt. In this way, the graphic demonstrates the function of the brass material by stopping infection at a cellular level, but it appears comforting and safe like a sewn heirloom blanket.

PLEASE NOTE: Although this pen is intended to take full advantage of the antimicrobial properties of the raw brass, it comes with a thin coating of clear lacquer. This coating is applied to give the consumer a new and polished pen. But over time, this coating will slowly wear away exposing the raw brass and its properties.

When approaching this project I asked myself: “How could I possibly transform a boring black pen into something precious and desirable?” The idea was to simply dip the pen into liquid gold. But by doing so, one has to hold the pen on one end, which is why the gold doesn’t cover its entire surface. The final design, rather than being another golden status symbol, literally represents the action of transformation, if not to say the alchemy.

The original pen shape was designed by Johanna Grawunder in 2007. Due to its success, in 2010 it was adapted into an entire new collection designed entirely by female designers, intended and designed for female users. All pens in the “Stiletto” collection are rollerballs and have hand-applied lacquers applied onto a fine aluminum base.

This is a very special project that happened all by itself. For several months we had been considering a project for a new pen shape that would be as much of a “blank canvas” as possible, that we could offer to a few of our designers which had more options of manufacturing techniques than we had ever offered them before. However, when this blank canvas came to be, it was completely by accident: On August 25th of 2000, we visited our friends Lella and Massimo Vignelli in New York City for a totally unrelated project. As with any project we have ever done with the Vignellis, it was discussed, considered, agreed upon at light-speed and sketched out with every detail, completed and taken with us. Since all the sketching for this project was being done with several ACME pens, when Massimo was finished with the project at hand he began to study each these pens carefully and asked, “Have you ever thought of a pen like this?” and begins to sketch again. The resulting sketch was a minimal, cylindrical, extra long pen, with our usual branding and designer’s name applied to the pen in a totally new way. As soon as Lesley and I saw this sketch we looked at each other and without saying a word, we both instantly knew that we had the “blank canvas” that we had been thinking and talking about. When we explained this accident to Lella and Massimo, and what our intentions would be for this pen, they loved the idea and quickly did further sketches of what they wanted to do to this pen. Massimo then suggested that we call our mutual friend, Richard Meier, to get him involved; as his office just happened to be in the same building. We called Richard and within minutes he was sitting with us as we were telling him about this new project. Before we could ask him if he wanted to do a design, he says: “You’ll have my design within a few days.” Within less than 2 hours of arriving at the Vignelli’s office, we had not only finished the project that we went there for, but also, what had only been a vague idea had now developed a shape, a concept, packaging, a new branding approach and the first 2 designs were done. Within a few more days, we had contacted other designers and ALL were happy to be involved, the project was off and running, with a life all its own. A very small amount of only 500 rollerballs of each designer’s pen will ever be made. 69
