Bay Area design has always been at the forefront of community building, sustainable living, and maker culture. In this, Henry’s first digital “issue,” we focus on that ethos through the lens of the 1970s design revival: new colors of the earth, textural fabrics and wallcoverings, and artisanal collections are front and center as we look to nature and the presence of the human hand for solace and inspiration. Because now, as then, great design has the power to improve lives, and to help repair the world.

That’s the spirit of California.
