About the Studio
Our Seattle Studio is located in Belltown, a mixed commercial and residential neighborhood known for its quirky restaurants, shops, markets, art galleries and music venues. Just blocks from the Pike Place Market, the 3,200 square foot Studio is sited in a historic 1902 building that formerly served as a hotel-evidenced by the original octagon tile in one corner of the Studio where the hotel lobby stood. On display in the Studio is a large selection of designs for the home and workplace, including a lighting section, outdoor furniture and floor coverings. Studio proprietor Adam Merkl oversees the Studio along with his friendly and knowledgeable staff.
EVENTS

Design the Modern Board: 2010 Competition

Calling all designer-boarders: Want to see your very own design on a powder-ready snowboard? DWR Seattle Studio invites you to participate in our 2nd annual Design the Modern Board competition, sponsored by K2 Snowboards and benefiting SOS Outreach. 

Graphic designers – both established and aspiring – throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond will be submitting their original modern snowboard designs. The designs will be unveiled to the public for a final vote at the Studio on Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 6pm.  The winner gets to take home his or her graphic produced on a one-off snowboard by K2 Snowboards (www.k2snowboarding.com).

Check out the board template and art guidelines, then email your name, company name (if applicable) and Intent to Submit to seattle@dwr.com no later than March 19, 2010. SOS Outreach and DWR logos must be incorporated into your design.

Physical submissions must be clearly marked with your name and be received at DWR ’s Seattle Studio by 10 am on April 2. Questions? Contact us at seattle@dwr.com or 206.443.9900.

Even if you’re not a designer or even a boarder, you won’t want to miss the judging event Saturday, April 3 at 6pm. Chill and enjoy the night with tasty treats, a great raffle and DJ. Your suggested $12 cash donation will benefit SOS Outreach (www.sosoutreach.org), a nonprofit organization that helps at-risk kids get out on the slopes. RSVP to seattle@dwr.com.

Have fun.  We look forward to seeing your design.
