Bold/stylish/luxe with a wink best describes Circa Wallcovering - a collection created and curated by Jamie Adler.
Having grown up immersed in a California creative culture, Jamie and believes that if the spaces are the sets we live our lives in, walls are our most important backdrops, and they should say something.
We continuously add metallic, colorful and large-scaled designs to the collection and in keeping with our family philosophy of making everything locally and to order, all Circa Wallcoverings are printed in Los Angeles on and sold by the yard and in custom colorations upon request. Our wallcoverings are found in hotels, specialty restaurants, and retail boutiques and in the most private spaces throughout the world.
All materials are of the highest quality while the printing technique utilizes a zero VOC UV process with non-toxic inks.
Londubh Studio (pronounced Lún-duv/rhymes with love) was founded in 2011 by Lisa Donohoe and Brynn Gelbard, two women dedicated to living life on the edge in full color and shimmer whose art and surface designs are an unapologetic love letter to maximalism and glam. Much of their body of work is built to last in prominent high-end (as well as unexpected) spaces such as NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, The Jean Georges Restaurant at the Beverly Hills Waldorf Astoria, and the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, to name a few. Their backdrops most recently featured in the 2020 Golden Globes elevator set for InStyle Magazine as designed by Nicole Hollis, with whom the pair have been quietly working away on a secret San Francisco project sure to shake up the world of design.
Donohoe's and Gelbard's foray into the world of wallcovering makes their art and designs available for the first time without the need for scaffolding and the months it takes to develop and execute their intricate rock star on-site and hand-adorned creations for which they are known.
"We're not aiming for the perpetual minimalist," say Lisa and Brynn collectively. "We dedicate this collection to those emerging from this monumental time with a renewed fervor for seizing the moment and making a statement." All considering, who better to collaborate with for their debut than Circa.
As for inspiration? Says Brynn, "We regularly disappear into nature to get quiet, connect with our hearts, and call in designs. Our best visions never come when we sit down with a cup of coffee and a pencil at nine in the morning. They come when Lisa's subconsciously doodling when we're on a call, or when we're wandering around somewhere outside with our dogs during Magic Hour. They're birthed from a spirit we share of wanting to celebrate life, our mutual abandonment of societal expectations if they don't help us manifest our dreams, and our shared conviction that more is indeed more when it comes to the decorative canvas and its ability to fuel us to live our best lives."
Kimberly McDonala's signature #ilikerocks represents a lifelong passion. A passion expressed in her namesake collection. In the 13 years since she opened Kimberly has expanded her reach from fine jewelry to now include clothing and accessories as well as eco-referenced home products which all revolve seamlessly around a deep appreciation of the melding of the rough and the fine in life as it is in nature.
Kimberly McDonald (aka KMD) launched in 2007 in New York City, following her freelance career as a curator of private clients’ fine jewelry collections. Composing collections left a mark on her, sparking the creation of a brand where every one-of-a-kind piece carries a story and invites connection. A reflection of her connection to stones and natural materials, connection between the collector and a piece, between KMD and trusted suppliers, between the company and the planet. Connection is a hallmark of the brand and a love of all things natural is more than a foundation for her work as a designer; sustainability is integral to the brand's existence.
Creation without destruction is just how we operate. We seek out the finest natural materials, reclaimed gold, and recycled diamonds to handcraft the collection in the United States with sustainability in mind. Kimberly's design aesthetic has always focused on letting the natural speak for itself, so these environmentally respectful practices evolved organically. “I'm proud that | have such strong relationships with every level of the process—from miners to craftsmen. Each piece is made with care and respect."
The Kimberly McDonald collection has received overwhelming support and recognition from editors, stylists and celebrities alike. To count Former First Lady Michelle Obama, Cindy Crawford, Victor Cruz, Carrie Underwood, Vanessa Williams, Amy Adams, Cameron Diaz, Steph Curry and more as loyalists is a privilege. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History houses Kimberly's one-of-a-kind diamond-embellished ring that was part of the Jason Wu dress that Former First Lady Michelle Obama wore to the Second Inaugural Ball.
“| hope that when people experience one of my pieces, not only are they transfixed by the beautiful stone and craftsmanship; | hope that they are also inspired to be a little more mindful and a little more protective of the planet that provides these magnificent little treasures that we wear as talismanic symbols of beauty and transducers of energy.
