Last night the AMI team and I attended the launch party for the Galanter and Jones ‘Pylos’ bench. If you haven’t heard of them yet, Galanter and Jones is a fantastic company based out of SF, creating heated outdoor furniture. Their designs are delightfully modern and so comfortable, you will feel like a cat basking in the sun.

The party was hosted at Flora Grubb Gardens, one of my personal favorite spots. Normally the idea of an outdoor holiday party in San Francisco would keep me at home in my Snuggie. but the heated furniture made it comfortable and cozy. Our buns were kept toasty warm while we sipped on homemade cider and munched on beautiful charcuterie platters from Good Eggs. Note to self: don’t eat a heaping portion of hummus on a cracker without looking first… it might be mustard.

We had a great time hanging with the G & J team and everyone who came out to support them. The conversations about discovering natural hot springs and hilariously bad first dates had us in stiches. And who knows? Maybe our idea of a chilled side table will be the star of their next launch party. Whatever it is, we are definitely there. Thanks again for a fantastic evening!
