A journey through the acclaimed design studio’s effortless California aesthetic, ethos, and lifestyle
 
Design Commune reveals the evolution story of an 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 second book highlights all disciplines that Commune engages in, including interior design projects for private and commercial spaces, artist collaborations, product designs, packaging, and graphics. Its projects share many common threads, such as the influence of handcrafted materials, but each remains deeply personal and unique.

The New Wine Rules covers 101 topics on drinking, buying, storing, and sharing wine—told as very short lessons with highly editorialized illustrations to go along with each. For example: (1) You’ll never need to own more than two types of wine glass. (2) Smell the cork. It really does tell you something. Smell the glass before you pour wine in. (3) If you’ve heard of the Champagnes on the list, you’re probably paying too much for them. This fun, informative, and stylish book will be the ultimate  gift for all wine lovers.
