Best of Bubble NY Series # 3

A. Areaware Jr
New York-based company Areaware Jr is renowned for working with some of the world’s finest contemporary designers. When you work with the best it’s easy to offer a broad collection of uniquely designed, playful items that go beyond being decorative. The hand made Magno Wooden AM/FM Radios by Singgih Kartono, (shown above) were super fun. And the lion tamer, van Amburgh Stool by Sam Johnson was also a stand out piece in the Areaware Jr collection.

B. Gregoire Ganter
Photographer, Gregoire Ganter’s artwork celebrates the alphabet, and the beauty that can be found in marrying images with letters. New York city features prominently in his collages which would explain why they are so vibrant and striking. Look out for a feature story on Ganter’s captivating work in the next issue of LMNOP.

C. Toby + Rei
Toby + Rei is a smart collection of eco friendly clothing and accessories. Inspired by the organic movement, designers Alanna Mallon and Kate Browning use bamboo and organic cotton as materials to create their graphic line. Toby + Rei introduced the next generation of Robot designs at Bubble NY last week. We especially loved the Ballerina and Peace Robot! But the dip dyed Robot (t-shirt) was by far the most hip piece in the range. The 100% organic cotton lunch sacks shown above, will feature in an up-coming issue of LMNOP.

D. The Ivy Studio
These eye-catching t-shirts are made with love in Portland, Oregon by Luke and Erika Smalley. These guys love making t-shirts for kids – and it definitely showed in this collection!

E. Kice Kice
Bold circles, colour stitching and wave like necklines, are all details Kice Kice have incorporated into their Fall 09 collection. The results are nothing short of inspiring. Sister team, Karen and Lesley Kice are renowned for using high quality, organic fabrics to create their unique line of children’s clothing. Fans will not be disappointed.

F. Fidoodle
You’ve probably seen Fidoodle’s limited edition, puppet puzzles which made the rounds on popular blogs late last year. So, we thought we’d show you one of the company’s newest items instead – Fidoodle puppet puzzle, character t-shirts. Jen Bulthuis’s characters make fun motifs for her hand-printed, organic cotton t-shirt line. Available in three quirky colours – Galaxy Blue, Mustard and Plum!
