Felt & Wire Shop: Curated Paper Goods

[Alyson Kuhn] It’s launch day for Felt & Wire Shop, a cool collection of paper-based products. The goods have been created by designers across the country – some old Mohawk  friends, some new finds. The key to its charm bracelet is that it’s carefully curated. You could think of it as Vetsy.

The shop showcases retail products from designers we know and love. Other items on Felt & Wire Shop are exclusives: original art, limited editions, one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t find elsewhere. It’s also a great place for anyone who creates with paper to test market or refine a new idea.

Felt & Wire Shop launches today with work from: AdamsMorioka, Chen Design Associates, Delphine, Design Observer, Joey’s Corner Store, loop, The Lunar Diary, Michael Osborne Design, Paper Jam Press, paper+cup, and The Store at Grant Design Collaborative. Coming very soon, products and services from a collage artist, a bookbinder, one of our favorite hand-letterers, and perhaps you.

Felt & Wire shop was designed by Michael Bierut, Katie Barcelona, and their team at Pentagram.

P.S. If you don’t follow Felt & Wire regularly, you may have missed a great guest post last week by Arianna Orland, the founder of Paper Jam Press. Later this week on Felt & Wire, Michael Osborne will guest post about Joey’s Corner.

Alyson Kuhn, the editor of Felt & Wire, is not on the curatorial committee for Felt & Wire Shop. She is, however, on the grammar & tone board, always at the ready to help designers mind their piece and kuhns.

Mohawk Show 11 Finalist: Look/Read

In the Feedback Loop: Lunalux

Today we begin a series of interviews with letterpress printers who participated in the Feedback Loop Notebook project. First up is Jenni Undis, proprietress of Lunalux. Just as a notebook is greater than the sum of its pages, the Feedback Loop project is greater than the sum of its partners — all of whom we thank for participating. (All limited edition notebooks are on sale now at Felt & Wire Shop in a special storefront to benefit School: by Design, an initiative by Design Ignites Change.)

Mohawk Show 11 Finalist: No-mo Video

Today’s Mohawk Show Finalist is an exhibition book created by Julian Gosper of Julian Gosper Design. The book is for artist Stan Denniston who documents his experiments with motionless subjects and motionless cameras for his exhibition “No-mo Video.” By training a video camera on a nuclear warning siren, for example, a fearful anticipation is created in the viewer.
