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.

New: Bound Hand Mirror

Made from used mirror that we source from various building salvage stores here in the Seattle-area, Bound is a new series for us here at Grain. The hand mirror (pictured above and below) is waterjet cut then hand-wrapped in hemp twine in our studio on Bainbridge Island.

The Bound hand mirror will retail for $265.00 and is available in two colorways (Blue/Black/Natural/Yellow or Red/Black/Natural/Purple) for now.

We will be launching Bound at the upcoming New York International Gift Fair this August 15 - 19 in the JOIN: Design Seattle booth (#3912) in Accent on Design.

Expect larger wall hanging versions this coming spring!
