Have you been reading 3Rings lately? This design blog has a host of reviews about the recent exhibitors at the May 2009 BKLYN DESIGN Show in Dumbo. There are lots of great interviews and videos as well. There's even a piece highlighting one of our favorite Brooklyn designers, Daniel Moyer of Daniel Moyer Designs. 3Rings offers reviews of a range of product designers, from Warp Designs' Perforated Steel Vases to the delicate lamps of Levent and Romme. We really love the many designers who are using green design principles - check out the fun bamboo plywood furniture from Boo-Coup. Alicita Rodriquez introduced us to two great wallpaper designers - Shanan Campanaro and Jill Malek. Campanaro's Eskayel line is based on her original artwork. And, Alicita, we agree, Jill Malek's hand-screen printed wallcoverings are enough to make one swoon. Check out our slideshow to see some of our other favs.
