Publique Living at Modern Mouse!

admin — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 07:14:02 +0000

We spotted one of these irresistible pop-up placemats made of recycled paper on Etsy’s front page, and we had to see who the maker was. We were full of delight to find Publique Living to be a San Francisco-based company, and even more pleased when designer Lian Ng accepted our invitation to join Modern Mouse!

Lian is a self-proclaimed aficionado of mid-20th century furniture and modern minimalist architecture, an interest that we think comes across quite nicely in his amazing work. If creating his line of die-cut and laser-cut designs wasn’t enough, Lian also teaches graphic design and typography at The Academy of Art University in SF! We look forward to presenting Lian’s line of Publique Living products to you, and welcome Publique Living to the family. Thanks so much!

olive at Modern Mouse!

We snatched up one of olive’s Pop Props as soon as we saw it! Simple yet ingenious, this product comes flat like a business card so you get to pop the shape up on your own and lean a lucky item of your choice on it: iPhone, business cards, photo… Heck, ours doesn’t hold anything just so we can stare at thelovely design.

Olive brand is the creation of Zoe Design Associates, a local San Francisco-based industrial design firm with a small, tight-knit team that’s worked with notable clients from Tivo to Motorola. Thanks for joining us, olive, and thanks!

Coming to you straight out of San Francisco, it’s Maebee Jewelry! Maebee Jewelry is the home of lovely laid back bracelets concocted from unusual metal findings paired with casual cool leather or linen cords.

Tomoko Maruyama at Modern Mouse!

We let out a contented sigh when we first laid eyes on Tomoko Maruyama’s line of prints and greeting cards with their sweet, delicate and whimsical illustrations of San Francisco. They remind us of how happy and lucky we are to live here in the Bay Area, and we further appreciate Tomoko’s unique interpretation of the city’s lines, shapes and colors. Formerly a sports teacher for children and seniors, as well as a lifeguard in Tokyo, Tomoko found her true calling when she moved to the US to study design and then finally started her business in just March of this year. And we’re glad she did. Welcome to Modern Mouse, Ms. Tomoko Maruyama, and thanks for sharing your work with us!

Tiny Sparks Design at Modern Mouse!

admin — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:21:11 +0000

Tiny Sparks Design made a huge hit with the crowds when it debuted at the Bazaar Bizarre craft fair at Maker Faire this past May. We loved their stuff so much that we came home with one of our very own pieces when we saw them again at Renegade Craft Fair! Tiny Sparks Design is the work of furniture maker, Academy of Art University instructor and super nice guy Brad Boggie of San Francisco. We’re so pleased to be able to offer some of his screen printed woodwork in our shop! Consider this fair warning that if you don’t make it to the shop early, these beautifully made, original pieces will be gone before ya know it. Thanks and welcome, Tiny Sparks Design!

Sweet Meats at Modern Mouse!

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:03:16 +0000

Everything tastes better with bacon, right? Especially when it’s from the Sweet Meats plush toy collection of bacon, t-bone steaks, pork chops and hambones. Hambones! Now you can wrap yourself in bacon — or any of the other meats — like you know you’ve always wanted to. We’re so in love with each and every piece of sweet meat and are happy as pigs in mud to be carrying some of each at Modern Mouse!

Sweet Meats are the brainchild of Lauren Venell of San Francisco, who can often be seen at local craft fairs like Bazaar Bizarre and Renegade Craft Fair, where we first met her. Lauren’s a product designer with butchers on both sides of her family. Ah, that explains it! We love not only the meaty concept of these plush toys, but also the fact that all Sweet Meats are made from 100% recycled, super cuddly fleece, and colored with recycled dye materials. So not only will your doctor approve of you consuming unlimited amounts of these Sweet Meats, but the planet will too! Thanks for adding all this meaty goodness to our collection, Sweet Meats, and welcome!
