Art – Design – Landscape – Beauty – Community inspires us daily. What better way to conclude the year with an ornament that symbolizes our deep gratitude for a wonderful year.

Each year for the past six years, Studio Outside has commissioned a local artist to create a unique, hand-crafted ornament that embodies the spirit of our firm.

2011-2018 HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS

2019 HOLIDAY ORNAMENT
This year’s ornament material is paper! These ornaments were hand-folded by two young sisters from Dallas who run their nonprofit company, Paper for Water. Isabelle (age 16) and Katherine (age 14) told us that a child dies every 15 seconds from lack of clean water. Their Japanese descent and love of origami led them to a humble beginning of selling individual origami at Starbucks in 2011, and they have been folding ever since. Today, Paper for Water has raised more than $2 million for over 200 hundred water well projects in 20 countries. Check out the article/video from CNN.

Studio Outside is very proud to connect and collaborate with such talented artists over the years. Thank you to everyone we have worked with over the years.
