selected items 2011-2012
is a New York City based producer of everyday objects that are both functional and unusual. Our goals are to create thoughtful products that inspire an emotional response and to encourage a dialogue between people and their surroundings. We wish to explore design languages as a means of creating new syncretic forms. We like to think we have a good sense of humor and that our objects are poetic. We aim to create a forum for young and local talent, and together, we hope to become a strong voice for American design. We believe that appreciation for beauty is central to what it means to be alive and want to embody this principle in even the simplest things.

The Reality Series consists of forms that are cast from real objects. The designer’s process has always emphasized the inherent beauty of things – beauty from concept, beauty from materials, and beauty from structure. Using a technique that involves casting resin in highly detailed silicone molds, he is able to borrow from the world around him with precision. The pieces are challenging yet familiar, serious yet amusing. Reality is the perfect outlet for Mr. Allen’s complex sensibility which is at once literal, iconic, and functional.

The shelf is not included and is meant to be customized by each user to suit their preference and need.
newBow Bins cordula KehrerMaterial: Rattan and PlasticDimensions: 14 x 12 x 12 inchesThese whimsical waste baskets are a study in contradiction. Made from sustainably harvested rattan, the colorful plastic bin charmingly offsets the natural wickerwork.
Areaware’s Bow Bins are made by the Aeta people, indigenous inhabitants of the Philippines who retain their ancient traditions, customs and language. It is believed that they arrived from Africa thousands of years ago. For the last several hundred years, they have faced racial discrimination and been driven off their ancestral lands, retreating to remote forested highlands. Here they live in small villages, where they engage in subsistence farming, hunting and gathering, and basket weaving. Basket making with sustainably harvested rattan has been an important part of their cultural and economic life. This, coupled with the work of NGOs such as Preda, have enabled the Aeta people to reclaim some of their ancestral lands. In 2010, seventeen square kilometers were returned to them by the Philippine government.

All except the Micro are MP3 compatible. Medium and Large have short wave reception
Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries — but not this one! Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles, the Cubebot is a non-traditional take on the toy robot by joining ancient Japanese traditions with contemporary toy culture.

Animal Boxes: Llama, Rhino, Whale, Bull, Polar Bear Karl zahnMaterial: Sustainably Harvested New Growth Beech WoodDimensions: Approximately 7 inchesThese figural boxes represent “power” animals - totems for our individual ambitions. Their simple and gestural depiction is intentional - allowing the symbolism of the animal to be maintained. With the addition of hinges, they have the ability to guard important small objects. On the shelf, they are sculpture. On the side table, they are totems. On the counter, they offer a hiding spot.
newFauna Organic Cushions ross menuezMaterial: Organic CottonDimensions: 14 x 7 inchesCushions or dolls, inspired by Victorian shaped pillows. Graphics based on the first mass produced images from 19th century illustrations. New styles have been added to our ongoing collection.
STRiDA LT mark sandersThe first completely new bicycle geometry in 95 years. Inside a triangular frame of lightweight aluminum, power is transferred to the rear wheel via a silent clean Kevlar belt. Handlebars are mounted horizontally so the rider can sit comfortably upright with an excellent view of the road. The genius of the triangular frame is that it can quickly fold. In five seconds, you have a light, compact form that you can easily wheel, stow in a closet, load in your car or take on the train.

Seconds Dinner Plates Jason millerMaterial: Porcelain. Dimensions: 10.75 inchesThe “Seconds” series challenges the rules surrounding modern day consumer items. Do decorations always need to be centered? Is a whole bird better than a half ? These elegant “mistakes” are artfully and carefully applied.
Menorah Josh owenMaterial: Cast Iron. Dimensions.11 x 11 x 3.5 inches. Solid, simple, and ceremonial, with an integrated tray to catch wax drippings and a safe resting place for a used match while it is still hot. It is made of solid cast iron and has the heft expected of such a material. The weight gives it a sense of solidity. There is an honesty in the singularity of the iron material which suggests this object could age and continue to look even more beautiful as it acquires a patina from continual use.
“Menorah” is included in the permanent collection of The National Museum of American Jewish History.
