k studio’s wildflower pillows for the d*s shop are one of my favorite things we’ve featured so far. they’re eco-friendly, use beautiful but subtle colors and employ just the right amount of delicate, stitched pattern. the pillows are available in 4 color options and make a great gift for the the eco-design lover in your…
based in glasgow, showpony is the work of designer emma henderson. emma was kind enough to send her work along yesterday and i wanted to post it before i head out today. i’m a sucker for pleats and folds and emma’s work combines fun patterns with simple but stylish pleating. you can find her patterns…
steven, one of the owners of egg mercantile in amsterdam sent over these gorgeous platters and trays by a french company called i bride. one series features woodland creatures (deer, squirrel, etc. appx. 16 x 10 inches) and the other features women on round platters (appx 16 inches in diam). i thought they were too…
on december 9 and 10th the renegade craft fair will be taking place in chicago- if you live within driving distance i highly suggest you stop by! every year i wish i could check out the chicago branch (some of my favorite designers show there) so hopefully some of you can check it out. this…
there are few moments in my life that i can remember being really and truly speechless, but last night at the business ladies meet up i walked up the stairs and found myself at a loss for words. surrounded by a room packed full of over 80 talented women i had to jolt myself out…
last night’s biz lady meet up was more amazing than i could have ever dreamed. at my count we had over 80 people attend and we packed every square inch of dwr in brooklyn heights. a full report will come later this morning but i wanted to share the work of one woman in attendance…
ok ladies- the day is here and tonight we’re all meeting at dwr in brooklyn heights for the nyc business ladies meet up! we’re meeting from 7-9 but if you can show up by 7:45 i’d be most appreciative. we’ll all head upstairs around 7:45 or 8 for a little chat and then break apart…
the d*s shop has been such an interesting experience that i felt it was about time i wrote about it on the bizbox blog. i’ve learned a lot about how tough it is to coordinate shipping, orders, customer service and inventory and i thought it would be fun to share the backstory of the site…
i just saw on AT that dave alhadeff’s a&g merch is finally online! a&g is the sister store to dave’s now hugely famous future perfect shop. full of affordable (but still edgy) design, a&g is right next store and has a fun selection of home design ranging from lighting and tableware to couches and tables….
we saw a big rush in the shop yesterday so i’m trying to add little details about each product this week before we’re entirely sold out. these beautiful letterpressed 12 days of christmas cards were created by happy menocal for black pearl press. each one represents a verse of the song, my personal favorite being…
ok, it’s a silly product time out. normally i’m not a fan of those sticky things you can put on your phone and ipod but i was chatting with the gang at sesame and they tipped me off to these little guys called gizmobies. they’re totally one of those things that gets sold on the…

[thanks, cindy!]
designer and d*s reader gosia korsakowski sent me these beautiful trunk pieces designed to be used as a stool, side table, display surface or simply a unique object. i was really struck by the simple silver versions and the contrast between metal and wood. designed in europe by made for the us market, each trunk…

ok, it’s not a perfect solution to search but it’s better than nothing. don’t know why i didn’t add this before but i added a google based search button to the left hand side of the site. just type in your answer and 9 times out of 10 you can find what you’re looking for…
the december shop has been going like gangbusters so far and i just wanted to thank everyone for supporting this month’s designers. a few of these guys are almost sold out so i just wanted to remind people to place their orders before they’re gone. in addition, all orders that need to arrive before christmas…
updates to our apt have been picking up slightly lately as we finally saved up enough to make some bigger purchases. a few weeks ago i took in a dozen prints and paintings to be framed at sky art and i’m just now finding places to hang them all. i wanted to share my favorite…
this is sort of out of left field (no pun intended) but i had to include it. if you have a red sox fan in your life (like i do) then you’ll understand why this print is so fantastic. breck and matt at sesame letterpress teamed up with the red seat to produce this letterpressed…
the lovely laura of wren homemade is helping to organize a craft fair in nyc on dec 10! every fantastic designer known to man will be showing (perch!, deadly squire, laurice curran, kristen mccloud, donna jo brady, alyssa ettinger, wren handmade and more) and i highly suggest stopping by if you’re in the area. details:…
australian ceramicist shannon garson emailed me this weekend about her beautiful pottery. after viewing her full collection i was really taken with her herbarium line. graceful, undulating and inspired by nature, each piece in the herbarium line is unique and definitely worth checking out (as is the rest of the collection). in addition, shannon is…
