the devil is in the details






















the attention to detail is one of the major aesthetic components
that define the work of form3.

this project was no different.

we would be remiss in not showing some of the original industrial
design of the timbuk2 retail space.

custom made with flexibilty in mind, they work in perfect unison 
with the amazing custom bags you'll find throughout the store.

the tight fit






























after a couple days of the hard work during installation on 
the timbuk2 project, we saw the fruits of our labor begin to 
pay off.

bryan, jared, miguel, jose, roberto and greg delivered the
interior installation (ready for final touches and the merchandising
phase) in a brief two and a half day period.

an enormous amount of work fit in to a tight window.

this may be a record for the form3 crew.

well done.

more pics tomorrow.

til the breaka dawn



























the photographer for timbuk2, aaron, was kind enough to 
document the installation process and sent a few images our 
way over the weekend.

these shots are from our first night.

unloading, reworking the track lighting areas and painting.

a glamorous way to spend any evening.

the form3 crew kept it going through the night to get a leg up 
on the week...and it paid off.

more pics tomorrow....

killing it softly

























late monday night, the form3 crew descended upon 506
hayes street, san francisco, in order to get the ball rolling 
on the timbuk2 retail space.

knowing we only had 3 days to turn the store around, we 
loaded everything from the welder, cabinetmaker, powder-
coaters, signmakers and countertop specialists into one
20 foot truck and headed south.

needless to say, we had some long days and longer nights
this past week in an effort to deliver on our promise that
timbuk2 retail would be open for business by noon thursday.

thanks to bryan, jared, deanna, bonnie, miguel, roberto, 
jose and greg...we pulled it off. 

more pics to come in the next couple days.

follow the arrows






















an early day of voting on tuesday for greg as the form3 crew
began the second day installing in hayes valley for the new 
san francisco timbuk2 retail space. 

the official ballot number is 062...that's right, the 62nd person
to vote in sonoma county's precinct 2508....and that was only
10 minutes after the polls opened!

somebody must be reading this blog and took our advice to
get out and vote.

no doubt.

design explosion























coming out of the gate 20 some years ago, brent rollins
created the undeniably fresh logo for john singleton's 
seminal urban masterpiece boys n the hood.

he's rarely lost momentum or creative flow as he continues 
to delve into all sorts of artistic endeavors, be it graphic design, 
art direction or amazing murals.

we were fortunate to have worked with him on the undftd
store in san francisco last year, but some of our favorite 
work by brent are his killer album covers.

these are just a few to gaze your looking balls on. 

prepare your mind for a design explosion.
