Post Design Week Press
We had an amazing time in New York last week. We're still processing, but wanted to share a few links from the nice press we received. Thanks to everyone for their support!At the airport, we were excited to find our Bound hand mirrors mentioned in the New York Times' Three Design Shops Popping Up in New York. For a recap from the Noho Design District (where we showed work with the American Design Club and Sight Unseen), here is a great summary from Sight Unseen.
While we were setting up our ICFF booth, we found this nice post from Laura Cassidy's Wear What When blog for Seattle Metropolitan Magazine featuring our work along with fellow Seattle designers: Greypants, urbancase and Iacoli & McAllister.
After ICFF, we were happy to read that we were selected by Inhabit as part of the Best Green Furniture Design at ICFF 2011 (see above) as well as one of 15 Young Designers and Collectives to See at ICFF according to Apartment Therapy.
We also wanted to send thanks to Jess Chamberlain of Sunset for her ICFF 2011 (some Seattle-based faves), Ghislaine Viñas of Interior Design for including our Bound hand mirrors in a nice post from the Noho Design District, and Carl Collins of Core77 for including our Bound wall mirror in their Noho roundup.

Looking for summer intern...
Our beloved intern Claire is leaving us in June after a year of amazing work. It is going to be difficult to fill her shoes, but we are on the hunt for a new intern (or two) to start in late June. Here is what we are looking for: As our summer intern, you will have an opportunity to contribute to all aspects of our design consultancy and studio from research, to design process, to production assistance, to a variety of administrative projects. Knowledge of Adobe software and confidence in design drawing and model making is ideal.
This position would be a great fit for an Industrial Design or Furniture student, though we can tailor the position for a Graphic Design, Textiles or Architecture student as well.
Our focus this summer will be working on the growth of our in-house product and furniture line, which we show annually at the New York International Gift Fair and International Contemporary Furniture Fair.
Our home studio is on Bainbridge Island, a 35 min ferry commute from downtown Seattle. The position is unpaid, but we do cover ferry costs, lunch and coffee.
We are looking for someone who could start around June 27th and work through the summer. Full-time would be ideal, but we would be open to part-time as well. We could accommodate two interns.

Grain at Anthropologie!
Our custom Sololá cosmetics bags for Anthropologie are finally available!Several months ago we started a collaboration with Anthropologie when one of their buyers spotted our Sololá purse. We worked with them to create this custom cosmetic bag using the same vintage huipils that we source in Guatemala. Each bag is totally different. You can find them online and in selected stores here in the US and UK.
