Cool Hunting

RISD Studio: Designing the CH Store by Josh Rubin

Chv-Risd-Studio

As a final assignment for his Spring 2006 Interior Architecture class, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Professor Jeffrey Katz asked his students to translate Cool Hunting into a physical store. We were very excited to hear about all this and agreed to participate with a little guidance and critique. This video highlights some of the student projects and our reaction to them. Thanks again to Jeffrey and his class—this has made us really eager to open a store one day.

Imperfection Bowls
The New Collectibles in the New York Times magazine. After some research, we found that New York's design institution Moss has been sold out of them for weeks, but they do have these "Imperfection" bowls, which are made from handmade glazed porcelain and gold and signed by the designer. Available in small (pictured), medium, and large, they start at $475....
RISD Works
Just across the river from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), a store called RISD Works sells a wide range of products all designed by RISD alums.
