Aesthetic super-studio Ball-Nogues is like the 21st-century love child of the Factory and the Bauhaus.
Ball-Nogues is a one-stop shop for art, architecture, public projects, and design objects, both concepted and largely manufactured on-site in its cavernous Downtown LA Gallery District space. The studio’s conceptually avant-garde, eco-friendly, urban romanticism has been lauded in museums, showrooms, and festivals, garnering a rep for laid-back luxury.
Cruise through Ball-Nogues’ studio projects online, check out its YouTube channel, keep up with the latest on Facebook, and for those in LA, swing by City Listening II to witness some of the work in person.

“concepted”! Noooo!!! The word is “conceived” and don’t let any snake-oil peddling “creative” tell you otherwise. It’s disppointing Flavorpill, the mothership of Boldtype, has stooped to using this ugly and necessary neologism. It is not in the dictionary yet, thankfully, despite the efforts of the grammatically challenged copywriter, Ray Del Savio. Here is a sample of Ray’s silky prose from concept4verb blog;
“Use the verb form of CONCEPT in future interviews or articles you might come to write.”
Ray needs to learn how to use the words that are in the dictionary, and less of them, before advocating for the inclusion of yet more extraneous bastardized nouns.
Thanks for the reminder, BC.
Thanks to B.C. Lee. “Concepted” ranks with the now-omnipresent artspeak word “referenced.” Here too, a bastardized noun (love that phrase) has pretentiously replaced a perfectly acceptable hard-working verb: to refer to.
