Office Visit: The Everlane Studio in San Francisco - Remodelista
Photographs by June Kim for Everlane, unless otherwise noted. SF-based Everlane is an online fashion company whose tagline is “Modern Basics. Recently, the company made the leap from a “shoebox on Sutter Street” to the second story of a Mission District warehouse with windows everywhere, and Alexa and I were among the first in line to see the new space. Have a look at what she and the crew have come up with so far. The room has 20-foot ceilings and large industrial windows that require curtains they let in so much light. The furnishings are a mix of custom pieces and off-the-rack finds. Don’t be fooled by how calm the space looks–when we visited, the Everlane team was in full work mode, a fitting going on in one corner and the planning of future product releases in the other. A mood board for an upcoming collection is perched against a wall of cinderblocks recently painted white; the concrete floors are newly refinished with concrete micro topping. A sawhorse table is used to draft and cut garment patterns. When we came to this framed company statement, Cerre commented, “You know where your onions come from and where your cheese comes from; we think it’s necessary for people to know where their clothes come from.” Photograph by Alexa Hotz. Everlane’s Spring Silk collection is made in Hangzhou City, China. A trio of custom-built tables by Ohio Design are pushed together to create a communal picnic and meeting space.
