We are happy to be joining Kevin McClellan and Swati Sharma of/on Dsigndot. Studio Autoforma will be contributing ParaPerro, which was featured on SuckerPunch and CBS Sunday Morning Show last year.
Dsigndot-
Is devoted to the development of a community based on the finest innovative designs and up-and-coming designers from around the globe. Our commitment to connecting the design community is unparalleled and is focused on creating the best location for new ideas and the challenging of the status quo. We seek to help connect brash, throughtful and intrepid designer to a larger audience, making it the place to see what’s in the future.
The idea sprang into the heads of two designers/ architects in London, England in the spring of 2008. Over the last few years, as time and conversations go, the idea got stronger, more refined and purposeful. Taking a leap of faith and working with the best people we know, we started the company. And here we are now!

At the ripe young age of 33, our dear friend Kaleb Canales has become the first Mexican-American and youngest head coach in NBA history. He get’s there 4 years earlier than Coach Musselman of the Golden State Warriors who took the reigns at age 37.
There is absolutely not another individual whom I know, that demonstrates a love for life and a determination to succeed in it. All while being one of the most humble and giving human beings period. I’ve always said we are afforded a handful of people (4) who shape us into who we are. Kaleb is certainly one of them.
