Chicago-based Object Design League, in production with Pavilion, have just opened Worth Your Salt, a holiday pop up shop featuring a collection of objects by 19 young American designers.
The products, both industrious and playful, include Timothy Liles' swirled Crayon Rings (made from genuine crayons), Zach Weiss and Kai Williams' Table Hockey (turn your coffee table into a hockey table), Peter Bo's Utility Aprons (appropriate for both the woodshop and the home), and Michael Savona's Shhh Lamp (a nightlight to help you wind down at the end of a hard day), pictured below.
The shop will maintain daytime and evening hours through December 11th at Pavilion's storefront in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago. If you're in town, don't miss the open house reception tomorrow from 5-9pm. If you're not, many of the objects will be available online for the duration of the shop, including a limited-run Object Design League wrapping paper:
