A new chapter, tucked away just around the corner.

A little more intimate. A little more cozy. A place where friends are nearby, good things are gathered, and work and life feel intertwined. Close enough to ride your bike.

Soon, we’ll open the door.

Moments from July — an S and a F, historic interiors, typography for a linear portrait series, tiny tin sculptures and destination gatherings.

Some paths are immediate. Others take a few more turns before they reveal themselves. We try not to rush in either instance, letting the process unfold naturally.

Moments of reflection in sunshine or moonlight. A sense of nostalgia. Grounded strength. Botanical hand soap made for Raye in collaboration with STEM Handmade Soap—a tactile extension of the Raye visual identity completed in 2025.

We worked closely with Stem founder Steve Meka to develop a custom earthy blend of amyris, bergamot, to***co and cedarwood that creates a calming and invigorating atmosphere. It's an ideal scent for moments of relaxation, contemplation or simply unwinding.

A defining element of the soap box design is a debossed wordmark pressed with transparent ink creates a definitive "front" and minimalist moment. Letterpressed and embossed soap box by THE 961 COLLECTIVE on Cool Blue from GF Smith Colorplan.

Our collaboration with the blulens | dawn cook design founders began almost 2 decades ago. The Shaker Heights based interiors practice has grown and evolved many times. Our design decisions focused on the aesthetic of founders Dawn and Linda—use of refined materials and restraint, uncoated paper stocks and tactile finishes. The visual story is approachable and elevated across all touchpoints. Photography by S U Z U R A N.

Joni Spear creates timeless, award-winning interiors in St. Louis and beyond. Her process is transparent, collaborative and anchored in craftsmanship. Every home tells a story of elegance and purpose. She specializes in high-end residential projects and is known for her bold use of color.

Joni's visual language is spacious, welcoming pauses and moments of drama. A striking serif with elegant forms is used for the founder's name and four letter monogram. A warm burgundy was chosen to pair with saturated interiors. The website is home to a curated selection of projects, thoughtfully gathered and artfully displayed to feel effortless. Spaces showcase Joni's tailored taste across both new builds and historical homes. Web pages are organized and readable, with splashes of burgundy woven in.
