We thought these old dresser drawers would make a pretty cool bookcase. Just for good measure we threw in one additional furniture design challenge: put it together without using any screws, nails or glue.
We made some key cuts on the table saw and stacked them three-high. In addition to being a nice visual element, the 4th center drawer helped hold everything together. The handles from the drawers were cut so that they pinched the horizontal seams together to further secure the bookcase.
From concept to completion, this is Camp’s take on how a Hurley vehicle should look. Behold the official Hurley Sprinter van and work truck with their new Fall 2010 outfits.
More fun with the Nike retail team: for this Nike 6.0 Full Court display we picked up some old hardwood basketball court flooring planks and had our way with them. We wanted to highlight the basketball-style board shorts so we cut the reclaimed planks at random and secured to one another with brad nails to form what we think is a pretty impressive wave. They loved the first one enough to send us off to another store to make them a second. Go Camp!
This was the packaging Camp designed for Hurley’s wetsuit booties. It’s a box within a box. A black and green version of Hurley’s plaid pattern covers the outer box. The inner box pulls out to reveal the bright multi-colored smoke graphics wrapped seamlessly inside and out. A finger hole is die cut into the front of the box and a discreet tab is built into the packaging to hold it all together.
Our good friends at Smog Shoppe called us in to beautify their new ceremony space with a second mural. Using the existing exterior paneling as our guide, we painted reflective silver geometric lines to cut through a sea of matte black. We used a blue from the existing mural to update the block wall header above the paneled wall. Next time you’re heading up La Cienega, look left.
The wall before we started…
Working with the Nike retail team, we designed and executed this floor set and window display for Nike SB at the store in Irvine. The Icon x Icon campaign imagery includes old chairs, skate ramps and some classic ramp art.
To kick off the floor display, we took this old thrift store chair and cut it perfectly down the middle.
For the window display we fabricated two display ramps and skinned background panels with Icon x Icon artwork printed on bond paper. The final details were to add a shop light over each display and apply brand vinyl to the windows.
A couple years back, Camp had the joy of collaborating on a mural with Miguel Nelson and his wife Sherry Walsh- the owners and designers of two of the most incredible LA event spaces, Smog Shoppe and Marvimon.
The inspiration for the mural was located across the parking lot, sun-faded and hidden under years of paint.
The goal was to take this original anonymous mural and bring it back to life by mathematically measuring each line and matching existing colors. Leaving the asymmetrical diamonds in tact, one of the only changes that was made was to extend the lines of the chevrons to touch the roof line of Smog Shoppe.

We just wrapped up work on Jason Maloney’s 8′ cube called “Amber Alert” for the upcoming Art Shack show at Laguna Art Museum. There’s a baby crib, a crocheted rug, a functioning ceiling fan and roughly 130 sq. feet of pink insulation surrounding an original painting by Maloney. Check out Dan from Camp working with Hurley’s very own artist in residence: Jason Maloney. The show opens tomorrow 6/12/2010 and runs through 10/13/2010.
Camp’s answer to the soulless black subwoofer. The old sub just slides right into the back of the Sub Cozy. Baltic plywood walls of the Sub Cozy are skinned in felt inside to ensure there is zero vibration. White nylon straps and gray felt speaker screen provide additional awesomeness.
Check out our newest piece: The Recreation Bed. The base and platform were constructed using Baltic birch plywood. To finish it off, we made some custom d-ring straps out of felt and marine straps.
