Cork identity

Longtime friends of ours, Diane Gross & Khalid Pitts, opened their long anticipated wine bar, Cork, earlier this year on 14th/S Streets, NW in the old Sparky's space. Toolbox was responsible for the logo and identity (yaay!), Eric Gronning was the architect, Ron Tanaka (formerly of City Zen) is the chef, Lizzy from Paisley Fig is the dessert genius, and if you can actually get into the place, you'll have some great food and drink. Congrads guys!

Marvin art timelapse video

You may have now been to or heard of Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation’s amazing new DC restaurant/lounge in tribute to Marvin Gaye at 14th/U Street, NW called Marvin. Eric commissioned ToolboxDC to design and build an installation piece for Marvin in the form of a large mixed media mural of Marvin Gaye, now prominently displayed as the restaurant's centerpiece. The beautiful piece measures 6 ft by 10 ft, and is actually even for sale (please contact us at info@toolboxdc.com if interested).

This is a timelapse film documenting the lengthy installation process as done by Brian Liu and Nick Pimentel of ToolboxDC in 10/07.
