vonStein Apartment
North Beach, San Francisco

The apartment sits on top of Telegraph Hill at eye level with the 30th floor of the Transamerica building. Tall, thin pivoting panels of stainless steel, California walnut, and painted wood introduce light into the rear rooms. The kitchen cabinets and mechanical expanding table are made of African Zebrawood.

A 5 foot sculptural lamp of fiberglass and blown glass globes hangs from the 17 foot ceiling. The idea for the lamp came to Craig while surfing and he later shaped it using the same process used to make a surfboard.
