Craft to Service Exemplified in Nike House of Hoops Mosaic

Tangram artist Tim Main installing Ewing Mosaic at Nike House of Hoops by Footlocker in Harlem.

Tangram realized the Patrick Ewing tile mosiaic at Nike's House of Hoops in Harlem!

Tim Main, old school Tangram shop carpenter back in the Brooklyn days, perhaps best known for his guerilla tile installations in the NYC subway stystem: most notabley "New England Begins in the Bronx" and the controversial depiction of the Bernhard Getz incident, reconnected to help Tangram  realize the vision of Michal Spoljaric Nike Brand Design.

Tim's artisanry was the driving force behind the execution of this project - learn more at www.maintim.com.

At Tangram, the adage of "make new friends and keep the old" still rings true, how nice to connect after all these years and do a new collaboration! Thanks, Tim!

Where the hell is Andre Kerr? Sculpted flying nursing sow and piglets anyone?????

Tangram builds for NikeiD Studio in New York

As seen on the design news letter dexigner http://www.dexigner.com/product/news-g12454.html, Tangram worked with Nike Brand Design to realize some custom furniture options and details for the NikeiD Studio in New York's Niketown. This was a challenging and extremely detail oriented project with Tangram's renouned custom fit and finish adding the final details to a painstakingly thought out strategy.

The NIKEiD Studio is a consumer destination for designing, personalizing and customizing Nike performance and sport culture footwear, apparel and equipment, and marks the beginning of a design community, both virtual and hands-on, for consumers to share ideas, concepts and a passion for NIKEiD.

Tangram was the fabricator for the original NikeiD Studio in NOLITA, New York City.

Our thanks to Nike Brand Design Team.

Virgin Post

I am excited to start this post, as I have had quite a bit of trepidation at beginning to blog. What if you threw a party and no one came? Frankly I think that that may well be the whole point of a successful blog. Care what you post, but don't care if anyone is reading. I'll do my best to blog about things that are peripheral, but may catch the fancy of specialists everywhere. So Good Luck to us all!
