Ideal Live/Work Space: David Sieren from The Post Family

“After evaluating my current live/work space, I decided to re-think the most problematic (and most fundamental) area I deal with on a day-to-day basis: my desk. The proposed solution is a simple, multi-tiered sliding work surface that can accommodate a variety of dramatically different working styles, a litany of projects in various stages of development and mundane day-to-day activities – all while retaining the ability to completely disappear when not in use.”

David Sieren is a graphic designer and member of the Post Family.

The Post Family

Seven men. That’s who began this design collective. They are based in Chicago and are all artists of one kind or another. I was really impressed with the Post Family story (check out Family Values). There’s something compelling about a group of creative people figuring out a way to work together. It was their design blog that caught my eye and drove me to contact them to see how we could fold the Post Family into Lifework. The idea is simple, really. I asked them to imagine your ideal home workspace and express it in some kind of visual way. A nice broad brief that has thrown up some truly inspiring work. Over the next week I will post work from Alex Fuller, Davey Sommers, David Sieren, Rod Hunting and Sam Rosen. Look out for Alex’s piece later today.
