10 Products We Loved at NY NOW and Shoppe Object
Last week was a wonderful time for design scouting in New York as the two biggest design and gift fairs took over Manhattan. Between NY NOW at the Javits Center and Shoppe Object at Pier 36, there was plenty of new product to admire, with a special emphasis on small-scale makers and handcrafted goods. From fabric to furniture, glassware, and ceramics—plus no shortage of new design brands to watch—these products are some of our favorite finds from the shows.

We've seen many a marbled box, but this bright candy apple green set in a swirled lacquer finish will add some zing to your client's bookshelves. They can be stacked together on an étagère or placed individually on a pile of coffee-table books to store those pesky television remotes. Also available in pink. $550. madegoods.com

Jasper Morrison, who has been collaborating with Vitra for more than 30 years, has created a delightful bunch of all-purpose ceramic receptacles for the Swiss brand. The items' six-sided shape allows for a number of compositions, while the rusty orange color adds a calming earth tone to a desktop. Light gray and dark green colorways are also available. $115 per set. vitra.com

Candlelight is arguably one of the best ways to set the mood on a dinner table, so why not apply the same logic to your client's walls too? Fredericks and Mae has come up with an unexpected way to light a dining space, or any place in the home where a soft glow might be appreciated, from bathrooms to entries. It's available in single- and double-arm options and in a variety of finishes. $50. fredericksandmae.com

William Morris once said, "Have nothing in your houses that you not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." Luckily, this attractive armoire is both. Inlaid brass and cane weaving references Morris & Co.'s Poppy pattern, which pays homage to the poppies of the English countryside. $6,469. selamatdesigns.com

Natan Moss's high-fire stoneware receives a colorful addition this season in the form of dripping glaze. This 19-inch platter is food-safe, but would also look handsome positioned as an accent atop a large cocktail table or hanging on a dark-colored wall. $600. natanmoss.com

Saved NY has collaborated with American painter and designer Wayne Pate on a series of 100-percent Mongolian cashmere blankets featuring his artworks. We'd love to see them layered on a Vladimir Kagan sofa. $1,424. saved-ny.com
