THE operating principle, Gesamtkunstwerk, or “Total Work of Art” is woven into every aspect of our space. When WE began our renovation in 2017, we sought to create a *living, breathing* environment where clients ideas could be free to become as *meta* as possible?

Time is the Feeling of Being Made
-
Maison Bodega creative director Liz Gardner is interested in the ways the built environment becomes a physical record of time; how material accumulates memory, and how form can hold traces of decay, growth, erosion, and renewal.
In commissioning this series of monolithic, wood sculptures from Three Circle Shop, she was drawn to the reciprocal relationship the works cultivate with the natural world: their willingness to let raw material lead, to allow weathering, wear, and history shape the final outcome.
ABOUT THiS SERIES
The capsule, entitled Time Is the Feeling of Being Made, is conceived not through fixed concepts but through a process of attunement; an intuitive collaboration between maker, material, and the forces that have acted upon it long before it enters the studio. Each sculpture becomes a marker of that continuum, a distilled moment in the ongoing life of the wood.

A COLLECTION OF
ANTIQUES & VINTAGE RARITIES
”LUXURY CAN BE A POTATO AND AN ONION” SAID chef Francis Mallmann. For our most recent selection of vintage and antiques, we explore the the tension between new pieces and storied ones - where spaces feel gathered, not staged, the mature harvest brought inside, candlelight catching on glass and brass. Our perspective is simple, make the useful beautiful without polishing away where it came from.

DIARY
-
The building's renovation began in 2017 and embraces a design philosophy rooted in preservation and phenomenology.
It was conceived by creative director Liz Gardner in collaboration with architect Toby Rapson of RAPSON Architects, the firm founded by his father, Ralph Rapson—a Modernist who studied and worked alongside Eero Saarinen, Charles Eames, Harry Bertoia, and Harry Weese. Having grown up in the architecture business, Toby worked as his father’s right hand from the age of 12, and has shaped the practice with a pragmatism and refined sensibility.
