Issue #00003 : December 4th, 2025

This week I found myself in my usual spot at P.J. Clarke’s. It’s one of my favorite bars in New York City, because sometimes it can feel like the epicenter of the design industry. As I ordered their legendary burger, I noticed that my phone kept lighting up. Every time it dinged, we’d made another sale on Shopify. I co-own a 100-year-old design company, and for the first time in a century, we’re offering a curated collection directly to consumers—limited-edition ornaments and objets that complement our trade work.
