"House Industries display elite talent and craft in their design, illustration, and production, but the real magic is that they are alchemists. If you get that alchemy means taking non-precious metals and turning them into gold and platinum, then you ll understand it when I say that House turns numerous less-than-elite sources of inspiration into pure visual gold and platinum. It is easy for artists and designers to be precious, cryptic, and mysterious while peddling themselves as speakers of a language too smart for the rest of us to understand. However, it takes real courage to do what House Industries does: speak a common, if not universal, language but in such an elevated, powerful, and elegant way, that it reminds us how exhilarating it is to see a mastery of both the dominant and sub-cultural visual vernacular."
Shepard Fairey

"What I love about House Industries is that they search through corners of culture for something valuable that you'd never thought of before, then raise it to a higher artistic level. It's a very difficult thing to do."

"Design is a willingness to surrender to a journey. You often hear about design driven companies but most of them that want to license the Eames name are thinking of it as an acquisition for their collection of brands. Every once in a while you encounter a company like House Industries who is willing to go on that journey and grow our brand as well as theirs."
Eames Demetrios
"I've been a fan of House Industries over twenty years. Even though we're buds, there's still a lot of mystery behind that mountain of incredible work. Until now. 400 pages that let the secrets out? Jackpot! Been waiting a long time for this one. Heavily, heavily recommended by the DDC."
