Dynamic Design Duo

Nate and Brian

Designing couples….match made in heaven?  I think so…especially when your respective areas of “design expertise” do not compete with one another.  However, the work of one cannot help but be influenced by the other, and vice versa.  Case in point: Nate Berkus and Brian Atwood.  I have always been a fan of Nate and greatly admire his work.  We actually both had design space in the same building in the River North area of Chicago (gallery filled Superior Street) a few years back, and in addition to being what seems to be effortlessly talented, Nate is also very nice, charismatic and friendly.  And then there is the endlessly talented Brian Atwood.  His shoes and handbags are to die for, and now too is his work as the Creative Director for Bally.  Upon seeing the fabulous couple together in photographs of  an intimate dinner held in honor of Brian’s new position, I began daydreaming, fantasizing about being a fly on the wall in the midst of a Nate/Brian conversation.  What tidbits of design gold would be revealed?  And would they share ideas with each other that would show up in both of their work?  I can’t help but think so….
