Match made in heaven? One of our favorite firms, LA-based Commune Design, recently unveiled their interiors work for SF-based baking phenom Tartine. And did we mention the restaurant is on the premises of Heath Ceramics, the leader in the midcentury ceramics revival (and longstanding host of our SF Markets)?
When it came to the interiors, Commune was inspired by everything from “Alpine lodges to Danish cafes to Japanese teahouses” according to Eater. Here are a few ideas to steal from the collaboration.

1. Half-Painted Walls

2. Noguchi Lanterns in Multiples

3. Pale Leather Cushions
Above: Banquettes are softened by the addition of pale leather seat cushions. For something similar, consider the offerings from Counter-Space, a design duo offering vegetable-tanned leather goods.
4. Tonal Ceramics

Above: Mix and match tonal ceramics (no surprise here, the offerings are from Heath, which came up with a new glaze called Tartine Teal for the restaurant).
5. Braided Leather Door Handle
Above: SF artisan Llane Alexis created the braided leather door handles using leftover scraps from the restaurant’s seat cushions. Crafty types can attempt a similar look using strips of leather.
6. Schoolroom Chairs
Above: Commune spec’ed simple powder-coated steel-framed school chairs as seating; for something similar, consider the Canteen Chair by Very Good & Proper.
7. Built-In Kitchen Island Display Niche
Above: Here’s a clever idea for a blocky kitchen island: Add a built-in niche for ceramics display (and storage).
