Folk Object

I’d like to introduce you to a new project of mine called Folk Object. It’s an ongoing collection of graphic objects derived from the world of folk culture. So far, the pieces include works by Inuits, Native Americans, and a host of current designers and illustrators. The common through-line is that pieces blend ornament with utility. In some cases it’s design-irony and in others it’s an authentic expression of craft. I find it interesting as these pieces come together into the same collection and I think that you will too. Drop me a line if you spot good additions to the collection.
