Site Spotlight: Dsigndot

Dsigndot, which launched in early January, sells limited edition  furniture, home accessories, fashion, and jewelry by emerging and established artists and designers from across the globe. The founding partners, Swati Sharma and Kevin McClellan, who are architects and designers themselves, were motivated by the desire to offer objects not found anywhere else. They also hope to encourage artists and designer to experiment with new materials and push boundaries. Here are nine pieces I like:

Site Spotlight: Market 27

About a year ago, one of my favorite Boston publicists, Cristina Moniz (Hi Cristina!) emailed me about Market 27, an online boutique featuring fine home furnishings, lighting and accessories all curated by New England interior designers and collectors. I was digging around in my “To Post” box today and thought it was high time to feature it. Coincidentally, the featured designers in the Market Talk section are the designers who reworked my condo, adding the banquette and all—Amanda Hark and Jeffrey Osborne of Hark + Osborne. So be sure to click over and have a look at that too.

ARTmonday: 22 Artworks from Curate 1K

Norah Guignon‘s blog, Curate 1K, is simple. Every week she scours the web to find $1,000 worth of affordable artwork. The site is clean and simple, presenting a digestible number of thumbnails on each page. When you click into the artwork, she lists not just the vital stats, but the price and link to where you can purchase it. She’s not in business, it’s just a labor of art love.  And it is art I love.
