Hammer & Hand sponsors AIGA Portland’s installation event Blurred Lines at this year’s Design Week Portland.
We are excited to be a sponsor of AIGA Portland’s Blurred Lines, a curated exploration of the future of interaction, part of this year’s Design Week Portland.
Blurred Lines is a collection of interactive installations designed by some of the leading design studios in the Pacific Northwest, including Wieden+Kennedy, Postano, and Downstream. Focused around the challenges of interaction, these installations incorporate light, sound, motion, and history to explore how technology and physical spaces are impacting shared experiences.
We had a lot of fun assisting with the Blurred Lines event. In addition to donating funds for materials, we jumped at the chance to open up the Hammer & Hand wood shop to AIGA Portland volunteers and members to build pieces for the event.

As a traditional construction company, we collaborate with the design community to build beautiful and innovative spaces to live and work in. Many of us at Hammer & Hand also have art backgrounds, including one of our lead carpenters, Peter Bogart.
Peter, who holds a BA in Sculpture, donated over 50 hours of his time to help transform Refuge PDX for the Blurred Lines event. With the help of 20+ volunteers, Peter built many elements of the space, including 50 12-foot tall triangular columns designed by ZGF Architecture.
