Click! Design That Fits

Savings on light and time, all day

John — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:33:02 +0000

Well, actually all week long. To celebrate Daylight Savings Time, we’re having a sale on all of our lighting, clocks, and handbags (which have very little to do with changing the clocks, other than that perhaps you change your handbag twice a year… right?). The sale is on through Sunday March 21st. Spring forward!

Lighting: we just started carrying lamps by Slip (see previous post). All in-stock lamps are 20% off, and special orders (wait until you see the sample swatches!) are 10% off. Every other lamp in the store is 30% off, including the wood veneer lamps by XY Decor (pictured here), cork lamps by Wingard, and structural polycarbonate lamps by Lazy Susan.

Clocks: New this week are bright colored clocks by Morito Yoshi, and we’re introducing them at 20% off. All of our other clocks, including Umbra’s Big Time, Ribbon, and Prima (the wood grain one behind the counter, shown here) are 30% off.

Handbags: All of last season’s bags from Queen Bee Creations, Highway, and Malcolm Fontier are 25% off. Get them while you can!

All of this news can come to your email inbox if you subscribe to our newsletter!

Lighting by slip.

We just received our first shipment of stunningly gorgeous lamps from slip., straight out of North Carolina. The pendant lamps come in a number of sizes and shapes, but it’s the fabric we fell in love with:

Just when we caught our breath, along came the table lamps, with such groovy curves and exquisite detail (notice how the top ceramic piece finial [thanks Charles] matches the base) that we were immediately sold.

Best of all, they are very reasonable priced: The pendant lamps are $148 including hardwire kit, and the desk lamps start at $182.

New at Click!, plus some old favorites

John — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:08:15 +0000

As is typical a few weeks after the trade shows, we’ve been seeing a lot of our favorite UPS driver lately. One of the new favorites in the store is the “Blackberry” tray from Red Vanilla. White porcelain, hand painted with a pattern that pairs nicely with the Modern Twist “Tree of Us” coasters (that’s what we call Design That Fits).

The tray measures 8″ x 19.5″, and is only $34. Astute observers will notice in the background a product we haven’t had in the store for a while: the wine butler, which is a Swiss-Army-Knife-like multi-tool perfect for the wine lover.

Another new arrival is this sweet furniture from InModern. Check out the end tables, paired with some sweet ceramics (and a Woolyhoodwink):

and the coffee table (could be a great kids table), stacked with an InModern stool and a several QueenBee bags and wallets:

Again with the background: check out the Bike Parking sign, $36, new from FluffyCo.

Mighty Wallets

Often times customers will recommend products to us, which they are usually apologetic about. As it turns out, we love to hear from our peeps when they find Design That Fits.

One such recent recommendation was the Mighty Wallet. Mighty Wallet™ is a Tyvek® wallet that is water-resistant, tear-resistant, recyclable, and made of recycled materials. At only $15 each, they make a great little gift for your Valentine.

We have several designs available in the store, and hope to have them available for purchase online soon. Please call or email to order if you are not in our area.

New York report #4

John — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:47:05 +0000

We’ve wrapped up our trade show adventures with several last minute purchases including clocks, re-usable lunch bags, and a new greeting card line. Yesterday we finally ordered a line that we fell in love with at the last show: ceramics by Ink Dish, which feature designs by famous tattoo artist Paul Timman. We’ll have the plates and mugs in two separate patterns, available individually and in gift boxes.

And for those of you who need your cute fix, you can has some canvas bags by Japanese designer Shinzi Katoh. We always love ordering in this booth. The nice thing about these bags (besides their super-cuteness) is that they close at the top.

New York report #3

John — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:58:11 +0000

We took the trade show with great alacrity today, cheerfully attacking the aisles of Accent on Design, Studio, Details, and Tabletop. We came upon the booth of JosephJoseph, a British design team whose early glass dishes were part of our opening inventory at Click! five years ago. They’re now doing a full kitchen line, including these indexed cutting boards (that we first heard about over at Shelterrific!) and a salad bowl they call “Hands On”:

The hands detach to become salad servers. Look for these at Click! in late April.

Downstairs in Details, we visited one of our favorite designers: Jem Filipi from Highway. As you can see, she has new colors for spring, and Frances is modeling one of the new leather bags in her line.

New York report #2

John — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:33:09 +0000

Today is Frances’s birthday, so we took a day off from the trade show to go ice skating in Central Park with Stephanie Hargrave. Then we went to MoMA, where we took in the amazing Tim Burton show. Frances found the atrium to be a work of art in and of itself:

Tomorrow it’s back to the show for Accent on Design and Tabletop!

New York Report #1

John — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:10:17 +0000

Day one at the New York International Gift Fair had us covering the aisles in Handmade and At Home. What were we excited about? Well for one thing, the most adorable salt and pepper shakers in the world, and their friends, cozy-wearing mugs:

Handmade in Montreal by PMO Designs, these are absolutely adorable, and surprisingly affordable. The cable-knit cozies are made by the artist’s mother. Love it!

The next most exciting news? We’re having a Poppi party. The exact date hasn’t been set, but it sounds like the amazing Dawn Benedetto, creator of the fabulous Poppi rings, will be bringing a full selection of her jewelry for a show at Click! in early May, just in time for mother’s day. I’m just saying. Here Dawn and John are discussing possible dates:
