Designer Adam Gault has launched his own studio based out of Long Island City, NY. The studio has a small but highly considered body of work. I was particularly fascinated by a project completed for MSNBC and excited to see it put into use on the network.

It’s funny, there studio looks a lot like ours before we began our remodel. Maybe I should have just left it along and let it be what it is. Oh well, too late now.
