ARC OBJECTS
โช๏ธ โช๏ธ โช๏ธ โช๏ธ
A minimalistโs favorite, ARC objects is more than wearable art. Being more of a concept than a product, ARC is a body of work that encourages creativity and mindfulness. Parsons grad, designer Daniela Jacobs practices mindfulness within her jewelry and home objects collection, where she experiments with the simplicity of colors, textures and shapes. Working mostly with porcelain and metal pieces, she combines organic form with small scale industrial techniques.

Morrowโs collection of soft beddings and blankets are ethically sourced of fabrics that are made to last. The brandโs soft goods include linen beddings, blankets, rugs and pillows.

Not your average coffee shop, Relationships is a neighborhood cafe and retail store specializing in art, design and coffee. Nina Schwarz and Su Beyazit opened up the conceptual space in Brooklynโs Clinton Hill to celebrate community and creativity. The regulars are mostly women and so far the business of mixing design retail with coffee is a good match.
