The Building Block + Plant Material collaboration styles featured in the Spring 2021 Garden issue of Sunset Magazine.

The recent attacks on our AAPI community has kicked up some serious personal pain, anger and frustration. To take action, we are participating in @DesignForATL along with 80+ designers & makers to raise funds directed to the victim’s families and children via the non-profit organization Advancing Justice Atlanta. The fundraiser ends Sunday March 28 at midnight EST and winners will be announced on Tuesday March 30.

Organized by our friends at Steep LA, this charity sale brings together restaurants, makers and designers in the greater Chinatown area of Los Angeles for a one day Charity sale benefiting those most affected by the recent attacks on our AAPI community. Join us among 20+ others this Sunday, March 28 at 11am at Steep LA.

Our co-founders and designers profiled in T Magazine China.

Building Block is reading, watching, listening, reflecting, protesting, learning, and taking action toward an anti-racist future.

A couple recommended activities from the BB Team to momentarily fill your space with good vibes.

We are humbled by your ongoing support. If you are staying at home, thank you! We are offering 20% off select styles on our webshop from March 27–31 with code GRATITUDE in hopes that Building Block can continue to provide you with a sense of enjoyment during this confusing time.

With Love, Kimberly & Nancy
