Tracy Glover uses traditional Italian techniques to craft her delicate glassworks. Her handblown Teardrop pendant is no exception. 

Richard Shemtov created an ottoman with homage to Dune’s signature bold looks and functionality. Dune has maintained its American Made status from their first workshop in Brooklyn to current 75,000sf factory and studio in Jersey City.

Brad Ascalon teamed up with the 3D printing studio Shapeways to custom-design candle holders exclusively for the Design Trust supporters.

Stefan Rurak transforms hurricane debris into expressive designs. His end table features a slice of salvaged wood from Hurricane Sandy with butterfly key inlays and a hand-turned walnut base.

Sweden-born designer Daniele Semeraro became inspired by the experience of consuming wine while living in Florence. His liquor infuser set for Sempli connects the Scandinavian practicality with the Italian style.
