The Bay Area is a urban gem that thrives on its rich culture, innovation, and design. With the goal of reflecting the history and diversity of the area in mind, our curated team of local designers began creating! We took the theme of “matter” alongside a recycled, reused or new material to create an object that represents the Bay Area as well as each designers personal aesthetic.
