Happy Leap Day! So with the spirit of Leap Day, we're leaping forward from December to now to see the progress of the office. The changes are amazing and the functionality of the space is perfect. Jake has really put himself into the details, plenty of craftsmen talent has gone into the woodwork and finishes.
An off shoot of SMMS Design called Quarry Road Vintage will be showcasing our antique goods at "The Flea" on March 10th and 11th. This markets site is housed at the former Williamsburg Savings
Bank. It's worth a visit just to see the gorgeous landmark interior. There are more
than 100 vendors that line the former teller windows on the ground floor,
secret rooms on the upstairs mezzanine, and the original bank vault on
the lower level. Some of our hand picked items are shown here and come from the many farm houses and estates in the beautiful Hudson Valley.
Saturday + Sunday 10am-5pm - 1 Hanson Place (at Ashland Pl.) Fort Greene NY
Happy Valentine's Day! Design Seed is a blog we love to follow and on this day, it seems fitting to share the love of hues with you. Color inspires the eyes so we hope on this Valentine's Day someone inspires you, or better yet, you inspire someone... try a little { be mine } hues to catch someone's eye.
The Circle W Market is a unique grocery store
offering fine foods and homemade meals while also
providing handpicked antique and handcrafted items. The
location is at the foot of Hunter Mountain in the Kaaterskill Clove. Over the Holiday season SMMS Design jewelry and cards were available there,
what resonated with the people in the beautiful Catskill area were the more natural designs, with
use of nuts and seeds. The pea pod necklace was a real favorite.
Juluka Yoga Studio is a warm, non-competitive atmosphere, where you are
encouraged and guided to take your practice forward on its exciting
path. It is located in the heart of Bergen County, in Hillsdale, NJ. Juluka Yoga Studio was conceived by a strong desire to provide more yoga
opportunity for the growing number of practicing yogis and yoginis in
the area. Owner
and Head Teacher of Juluka Yoga, Mandy Grant, graciously displays our
jewelry at the studio. Crystal necklaces and sterling silver pieces are
among the favorites of the yogis.
Last Thursday along with Jake, Catskill Coydogs Principal, SMMS Design traveled up to the Great White North to attend Trade Day at IDS12 Toronto. We saw some amazing new products, finishes and interior layouts set to launch this upcoming year from many of the top interior retailers and product designers. The highlight of the show were the engaging speakers, Matali Crasset of Matali Crasset Productions, Paris and Bjarke Ingels of BIG Architects, Copenhagen/NY. Below are our pictures from the show, trade booths and products we found inspiring, and Bjarke's presentation. Hope you find them as interesting and motivating as we did.
