Memories of NYIGF

The sun came out one afternoon at the Javits and we were feeling pretty lucky to be in our new location in the lobby. Above and below are a few pics from that afternoon.

The very best feature of the show was getting to spend some quality time with our friends and neighbors from the American Design Club. The photos above and below from both the JOIN and American Design Club booths. See more on the Grain Facebook page.

Summer In The City: JOIN Back At NYIGF

It's New York International Gift Fair time again!

This summer, JOIN, featuring the work of eight Northwest designers and collectives, will combine forces with the American Design Club and “A+: The Young Designers’ Platform” to assemble a new section dedicated to emerging design. Positioned just outside the entrance to Accent on Design, visitors entering and exiting the fair will have an opportunity to take extra time to experience new work from up-and-coming designers.

The New York International Gift Fair is located at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, 655 W 34th Street in New York, and will be open 9:00 am - 6:00 pm August 14 - August 17, 2011 and Noon - 6:00 pm August 18, 2011.

Above and below is a sneak peak at some of what you will find in the JOIN booth. The Canoe Canvas Pack above is by Blk Pine Workshop.
