This place is amazing. They are always featuring fresh artists and designers. Based in Seattle, WA, Velocity Art and Design has been running for ten years now. Unfortunately for me I have only seen their online location, but if I ever visit Seattle their showroom would be the first place I’d go. The website has plenty to offer—beautiful merchandise that’s thoughtfully selected, easy navigation, plus a rich online community through their blog which I’m guessing mirrors the vibrant local community they seem to have created in Seattle.
Right now on Velocity’s home page they are featuring Thomas Paul, who’s adorable pillows were already mentioned in a Tchochkes story by Patti a couple months ago. They have plates, rugs, and other products by Thomas Paul, as well as lots of other stylish stuff.
This set of glasses and pitchers called Glastique mimics the shapes of plastic bottles, cups, and thermoses—brilliant!
