SUMMARY:Art-Inspired Design
DESCRIPTION:*** EVENT SOLD OUT***\nArt is an essential element in beautiful interior design that reflects the core values of the designer and client\, as well as the story of a space.  So often\, art is the final element designers use to finish a space with their clients.  But what if we begin with the art?  How could art that speaks to the homeowner drive the design of a room or even the entire home? \nThis event will include a short discussion regarding collaborative case studies TINT Gallery and The Modern Vic have created in starting the foundation of a design with art.  The event is hosted by TINT Gallery\, a contemporary art gallery focusing on women artists\, located in Hayes Valley. The event will include craft cocktails\, mocktails and light snacks.   \nSchedule: \n5 – 5:30pm arrival and networking\n5:30 – 6:00pm presentation with interactive Q&A\n6:00-7:00pm  exclusive tour of current exhibition + mingling with drinks  \nSpeaker bio: The Modern Vic – Sarah Stern-Benoit. \nSarah Stern-Benoit is the Founder and Principal Designer of The Modern Vic\, an Interior Design Studio in San Francisco.  The Modern Vic is the manifestation of Sarah’s lifetime love of history\, Bay Area architecture\, and stunning\, liveable spaces. \nThe Modern Vic took root in Sarah’s own childhood homes. Growing up with parents who actively lived in and restored Bay Area fixer-uppers\, she saw for herself the power of transformation. \nThe Modern Vic\, holds firm to the belief in the potential for remarkable transformation\, appreciation for architectural heritage\, and the passion for giving clients the support they need to realize their own beautiful spaces.  The Modern Vic gives clients the ability to gracefully incorporate their own design voice into their spaces while honoring the design elements of the house.

SUMMARY:The Connectivity of Craft
DESCRIPTION:*** EVENT SOLD OUT*** \nThe place we call home has a vast influence on what we make. But how do the things we make actually shape the fabric of our home? How does the production of craft — whether in the form of a sculpture\, garment\, or a gathering — influence our environment and sense of community? What does it take to build creative ecosystems\, and what conditions allow those ecosystems to blossom? \nThrough the lens of four individuals working across art\, design\, education and community-building\, we’ll explore how their creative practices contribute to our experience of connection and culture. \n\nKatherine Lam is an independent designer/builder and Program Lead for the Furniture Program at California College of the Arts.  Kathy’s practice spans nearly 3 decades of engagement with furniture and the handmade object and has recently expanded into the intersections of craft + community practice.\nEvan Kinori is a garment designer and patternmaker with a shop and studio space in San Francisco’s Mission District\, showcasing clothing\, furniture and objects. His simple collection of garments is made of the highest quality artisan fabrics from around the world\, constructed with meticulous attention to detail.\nYvonne Mouser is an Oakland based artist\, designer\, and maker whose work exists between the practical and conceptual\, spanning furniture\, objects\, experiences\, and sculpture. Her practice investigates ideas through experimentation with concepts\, materials\, and methods to create small run production and one-of-a-kind pieces.\nDavid Wilson is an artist who creates observational drawings based in direct experiences with landscape\, and orchestrates site-based gatherings that draw together a wide net of artists\, performers\, filmmakers\, chefs\, and artisans into collaborative relationships.\nThe conversation will be moderated by Kelley Perumbeti\, cofounder of Works In Progress and Office of Tangible Space.\n\nHosted at Space Theory\, this panel discussion is part of Works In Progress\, an exhibition series with a mission to amplify\, archive and create dialogue around the Bay Area craft & design community. \nSchedule: \n\n6:00PM-6:30PM Check in\n6:30PM – 7:30PM Panel discussion\n7:30PM-8:00PM Wrap up

SUMMARY:An Evening with Chef Tu David Phu\, a San Francisco Chronicle Rising Star Chef: SF Design Week Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:We believe some of the most meaningful connections happen around food. Join us in supporting San Francisco Design Week by reserving your spot for an intimate reception with acclaimed Chef Tu David Phu. All proceeds benefit San Francisco Design Week. \nEnjoy a thoughtfully curated evening with a small circle of local design leaders—taste Chef Tu’s evocative menu\, hear the personal journey behind his celebrated work\, and take home a signed copy of his cookbook\, The Memory of Taste. \nChef Tu and our CEO\, Dawn Zidonis\, first connected during a San Francisco Design Week event years ago—a friendship that blossomed through a shared passion for culture\, creativity\, and community. Their continued collaboration is proof that San Francisco Design Week sparks lasting relationships that enrich our design ecosystem. \nThis special evening marks the close of our 19th Edition and helps fuel our vision for the future as we begin planning our 20th Anniversary in 2026. \nDue to the intimate nature of this event\, only a small amount of tickets are available. \nIncluded in the ticket price: The Memory of Taste Recipe Book\, Meet-n-greet with Chef Tu\, Catered by Gigi’s\, Wine. \nABOUT CHEF TU DAVID PHU: \nChef Tu David Phu\, a San Francisco Chronicle Rising Star Chef and chef-partner at GiGi’s\, a Vietnamese-influenced wine bar in San Francisco\, draws on his Oakland upbringing and the resilience of his refugee parents. His roots trace back to Phu Quoc\, Vietnam\, where his family has crafted artisanal fish sauce since 1895. \nChef Phu’s culinary expertise is a testament to his diverse experiences. He honed his skills in the hallowed kitchens of renowned establishments\, ranging from New York’s internationally acclaimed Daniel to San Francisco’s prestigious 2-star Michelin restaurant\, Acquerello. Throughout his career\, he absorbed the essence of various culinary traditions\, from American culinary excellence to classical European techniques. Yet\, a profound connection to what he calls “the memory of taste” led him back to his Vietnamese roots. \nEmbarking on a culinary exploration of his mother’s treasured recipes\, Chef Tu revisited cherished childhood dishes and embarked on pilgrimages to Vietnam for inspiration. His innovative Vietnamese-California cuisine began to garner recognition in 2016 with his weekly pop-up dining experience\, “Ăn.” In 2017\, the San Francisco Chronicle crowned him as a Rising Star Chef\, marking the beginning of a series of accolades. \nChef Tu’s culinary journey expanded its horizons when he joined Bravo’s Top Chef Season 15 in 2019 and hosted ABC’s Taste Buds: Chefsgiving\, a program that received a James Beard Award nomination. Currently\, he is co-authoring his first cookbook\, titled “THE MEMORY OF TASTE\,” alongside James Beard Journalism Award winner Soleil Ho\, a prominent figure in the culinary world. \n“The Memory of Taste” is not just a cookbook; it’s a celebration of inheritance. It delves into Chef Tu David Phu’s journey as a chef\, emphasizing the invaluable culinary lessons passed down by his parents\, refugees from Phu Quoc. These lessons encompass frugality\, zero-waste cooking\, and practical gill-to-fin eating. The cookbook features a playful collection of California-Vietnamese dishes like tuna summer rolls and 7-Up nuoc cham\, seamlessly integrating Chef Tu’s ambitious and modern culinary style with the food wisdom that nurtured him. \nRegistration:\nRegister through the San Francisco Design Week platform to attend this event.

SUMMARY:One Hat One Hand Design Week Open House
DESCRIPTION:One Hat One Hand\, and newly acquired DEKA Fabrication\, would like to host a Design Week Open House that gives architects\, designers\, brand teams\, and creative partners a rare\, behind-the-scenes look at how complex ideas become real\, buildable work. This is a chance to connect the design community directly with the people and processes that make ambitious projects possible\, from early collaboration and prototyping through fabrication and finishing. By opening our doors\, we’re inviting guests to see what “integrated” really looks like when metal\, wood\, lighting\, and art are coordinated as one cohesive build\, with fewer handoffs and better outcomes. \nGuests will tour the shop\, meet our designers\, metalworkers\, woodworkers\, and project leads\, and see examples of public art fabrication\, integrated lighting projects\, architectural features\, and custom elements built for environments that need to perform and impress. We’ll share materials\, techniques\, and in progress work so visitors can understand how decisions around tolerances\, finishes\, durability\, and installation realities get handled early\, without compromising the creative vision. We’ll wrap the evening with time to mingle and talk projects\, with beverages and food served.
