New Arrivals!

Admittedly, the shop was a little empty for a few weeks (good for us, bad for you.) Well, we've restocked—here are a few of our finds, quickly shot with my iPhone.

Alessi Retrospective

In November, the Philadelphia Museum of Art will be holding an Alessi Kitchenware retrospective. The company, which works with a myriad of designers from various backgrounds, is notorious for incorporating architectural elements into the composition of their products. Don't those kettles look as though they're about to blast off? Alessi has been furnishing tables with nifty, space-age kitchenware for close to a century, and they are still going strong.

New prints in the shop!

We're really excited to feature these awesome Philly-inspired prints by designer Dan Blackman.

Knoll: A Modern Universe

Quoted from shelterpop:

Knoll. Designers and design-lovers know the name well. It may not ring as familiar to the everyday ear but chances are high that you've seen, sat on or perhaps even owned a Knoll piece in your lifetime.

For more than 70 years, this iconic furniture powerhouse has brought many notable names from the world of mid-century design to the masses. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona collection, Eero Saarinen's Tulip chair and tables and Harry Bertoia's wire chairs are merely a few examples of Knoll's vastly recognizable goods.

Knoll: A Modern Universe by Brian Lutz with a foreword by Reed Kroloff, a new book released this month celebrates the rich history of this seven-decades-old company, showcasing the many products and names for which the company is so well known (as well as those lesser known).

New Arrivals!

Some great new housewares were put in the shop this weekend—glasses, ice cream bowls, cake tins, and many other items. The most exciting finds—vintage Pyrex chemistry equipment!

Shag in the press

We're so excite to have recently been included in a few publications—the Spring issue of Philadelphia Style and the March issue of Where.
