We had an amazing time at the 8th Annual Guerrilla Truck Show on Tuesday, a one-night design extravaganza on Fulton Market that brings the entire Chicago design community together. Local designers retro-fit truck beds into galleries, installations, and statement pieces that represent their work. Morlen Sinoway, the host and organizer of the Show, asked us to do a window display in his Shop/Atelier. We were honored, and thought it was the best spot on the street!

 

Thanks again to Morlen Sinoway Atelier, who did a fantastic job bringing Chicago’s design community together for an inspiring and energetic event! Our installation will be up for the next week. Located at 1052 West Fulton Market. Be sure to come to next year’s show!

Our Summer Warehouse Sale is already this weekend! There will be plenty of deals to be had, but come early for best picks! Bonus: Meatloaf-A-Go-Go Food Truck will make an appearance on Friday and Pleasant House Bakery Food Truck will be parked in our lot Saturday 11-2 so come hungry!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Gauthier/Stacy over the past few months on an Oyster Bar Restaurant in New England called Cru. We weren’t totally sure how they were going to use our Sailor pillows, but when Project Manager, Winter Canavan, sent us these photos, we couldn’t have been more pleased! The pillows pick up on the brass hardware of the leather straps holding them in and bounce your eye across the room to some amazing brass bar stools. We love how the sailcloth works with the white canvas chairs to enhance the nautical theme. Well done! Can’t wait to try those oysters!

It may be obvious that we are huge fans of Scandinavian design at Unison, but who can blame us? Swedish designer, Pia Wallén, is someone we find very inspirational. For the last 20+ years, Pia Wallén has been designing felt accessories that embody timeless traits of simplicity, functionality, and longevity. Her famous wool slippers for children and adults are absolutely charming. They come in a beautiful selection of saturated primaries with beaded rubber soles. We love them, because, while honoring the tradition of Scandinavian craft, they appeal to the modern person, by using bright colors and quality wool.

Here is my little one, Inez, wearing felt red baby booties. They offer solid support and traction for her newest hobby, walking!
