Our friend and fellow artist Michael Dickey makes beautiful paintings on wood as well as intricate little ceramics and pottery.

These architectural paintings are so amazing!

Thanks to New York Spaces for featuring us in their “Digital Patterns” article!

Last Thursday, we went shopping with Tim McKeough from the New York Times as we discussed Esakyel inspiration, traveling, and the new Akimbo Mix-n-Match Collection. The article is online here.

This picture from our factory shows some new tiny basket/trays made from the extra fabric at Eskayel. How cute? There’s only about a dozen of these in stock and they would make an adorable holiday gift! Check the website for availability soon.

Also, have you seen our awesome new Ripple – Pearl hamper! Only available at ABC Carpet + Home.

Some colors and concepts we are looking at while designing a new collection…these are all other peoples photos that I have liked on instagram.

We have such talented friends!

You probably know Katie Deedy from Grow House Grow, but her new tile collection is amazing and we just had to share! It is 100% natural, completely recyclable, and hand crafted in Brooklyn. We would put her tile work in our bathroom if we weren’t renting!

Kevin Curran, a friend I’ve known since high school, is the founder and artist behind Pacific Lights. Kevin makes these elegant and interesting accent lights that are made from repurposed industrial cylinder caps. He lives on a boat, and so they have a distinctive nautical theme.

Even though the artist designs them on his floating home, the lights are cute for a stationary home as well!
