new: modern-twist

sometimes you just get a gut feeling about things that will be an instant success- and i've got one now about this new collection from modern-twist. amy ruppel designed a series of pieces for this collection and just sent them over. from the moment the photos started to load and i thought to myself "oh man, this is going to be so popular". cute coasters, runners, tablemats, boxes, birds, adorable patterns and lots of color- sounds like a winner to me.

founded by kat nouri, modern-twist is a collaboration between kat and a talented group of independent designers (mostly from the sf bay area) who share a passion for clean, minimalist design. aside from making super-cute accessories, modern-twist donates one percent of their profits to OnePercentForThePlanet.org. it's always nice to see businesses give back.

[all products will be available after the gift fair- i'll be sure to update the site as soon as i know. prices range from $12 for coasters to $105 for table runners]
