Randolph Designs

As a part of MCD's Visible Transparency Project, San Francisco's own Museum Of Craft And Design sat down (virtually) with MCD Assistant Curator Ariel Zaccheo and Exhibition Designer John Randolph for a conversation about their design processes, what it’s like to plan an exhibition from afar, and what new modes of display might be on the horizon, post-COVID. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eY9I7wbhvc&feature=youtu.be

Aesop West End ... by John Randolph / Randolph Designs https://www.aesop.com/us/r/aesop-west-end

Aesop NW 23rd Avenue, Portland / John Randolph Materials: maritime canvas, quilted maritime canvas The Northwest district of Portland, also known as Nob Hill, is built around a cluster of Victorian houses that now play host to one of the city’s most prominent retail destinations a charming precinct that embodies the laid-back charm of this West Coast city. Aesop’s inaugural Portland space is located in a historic building on one of Nob Hill’s major thoroughfares, NW 23rd st...reet. It shares a designer John Randolph with a second Portland store; when viewed together the two form a chiaroscuro effect, with each the negative image of the other. On NW 23rd street, a predominantly white palette and the use of light structures, usually seen in semi-permanent contexts, lend the space an ephemeral feel, anchored by the intricate construction techniques and the durability of industrial materials and objects. Part general store, part apothecary, the interior embodies a deep understanding of the Portland’s heritage and port location. Its recent renaissance as an artisanal mecca is also represented, via Randolph’s characteristic fusion of art and architecture. https://www.archdaily.com//5620785fe58ecec3c400024c-9-aeso
