"Walking the aisles this year revealed a clear cross-section of where the category is headed: brands turning textile waste into joyful knit accessories, analog materials like glass being reimagined through contemporary craft, small sensory objects designed to bring moments of calm into daily life, and stationery and home accents that blur the line between functional tool and collectible art piece."
"Verloop began with the premise: how can we be in the business of making while tackling the problem of textile waste? The brand collects deadstock yarns meant for the landfill and transforms them into socks, scarves, and pillows, lending a second life to fiber that doesn't quite fit into our current consumer culture."
"Glass is an ancient material that curiously has not had many updates to its production process since its inception some thousands of years ago. Yakush expertly blends old processes with new forms, fins extending out from vessels, and bubbles of creation encased within."
Shoppe Object, held at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Manhattan, features over 850 vendors and makers representing current design directions. The show highlights brands addressing sustainability through textile waste transformation, sensory objects promoting calm and wellness, contemporary reinterpretations of traditional materials like glass, and home accents that function as both practical tools and collectible art. Featured brands include Verloop, which creates accessories from deadstock yarns; Relaxound, offering smart speakers with nature soundtracks and sensors; Yakush, blending ancient glass production with modern forms; and Mud Australia, producing colorful ceramic numbers reflecting personal style.
