Presenting: The most excellent, super-cool design resource, Trunkt.

 

Trunkt is a directory showcasing artisans and creative entrepreneurs loaded up with tons of gorgeous photos to help get the salivary glands going. If you’re the type who seeks housewares and décor that no one else in your life will have, this is a great place to look for it.

Some of the artists we’ve featured that have a presence on trunkt include Shosonna Snow’s lovely porcelain bowls and ornaments, gorgeous handmade tea towels from Hammocks and High Tea, the whimsical teapots and serving pieces from Daisy Dog Studios, and bookcases from Dust Furniture which would make Dr. Seuss proud. (Seriously, they’re wacky. Limit yourself to one piece.) But surely you’ll find plenty of your own picks, plenty of which are available right online.

We can’t all own that original Eames sofa or $10,000 hand-carved antique table. But add a single cool hand-embroidered pillow to that affordable couch, or deck out your dining room with a one-of-a-kind artisan centerpiece and suddenly your home looks less catalog page, and more…home.
