Happy Camper (1209 N. Wells St., Old Town) is a little sister to beloved Lincoln Park pizza joint Homeslice, and the family resemblance is obvious. Both spots have pizza, of course, and there’s the same kind of rustic-kitsch décor scheme. This newbie, however, is massive, big enough to hold people stopping in for a slice and a beer before conquering Division Street and those looking for late-night eats at the end of a long night of bar crawling.  Happy Camper features reSAWN’s TAIYO  charred wood wall cladding in #2 common grade cypress.

Jan Fogel, an architect based in Brooklyn, specified reSAWN’s shou sugi ban CHARRED exterior siding for this private residence in Park Slope.

We love what Ukrainian designer Yaroslav Galant is doing with charred wood furniture.  Galant discovered that charred wood can be employed in various interior schemes with striking aesthetic effects. His “Born 2B Burn” collection (initially spotted by Freshome on Captivatist) can be organically adapted to different design concepts from classical to eclectic and contemporary.

  After two decades of success, sock and apparel company SmartWool is rebranding the company.  According to a statement released in December, the Colorado-based brand is embracing its essential values and looking to a future of high-octane adventure with the reimagination of its visual identity, including a colorful update to its iconic cowboy logo. SmartWool’s new packaging is slated to hit stores in late June, and a website reskin is planned for the same month.

COS, an upscale European retailer under the H&M (Hennes and Mauritz) brand, recently expanded into the Canadian retail market.  G architects collaborated with New York-based Office AO to bring to life the brand’s 3-story, 6,700 sf flagship location in Toronto’s fashionable Yorkville neighborhood. The modern façade is clad in reSAWN’s MONOGATARI shou sugi ban charred wood.  Inside the store is light and airy, reflecting the same sparse Scandinavian aesthetic found in the menswear, womenswear and kidswear sold at the store.
