National Stationery Show: May Day Studio

May Day Studio’s designs are inspired by (and created from) vintage wood type and printing plates, and soft cotton paper. Owner Kelly McMahon is also introducing a new line of photo albums—the cover papers are linoleum-block printed from her original designs, and hand-bound one at a time. She is exhibiting at the show with a group of other printers under the name of The Ladies of Letterpress.

pICFF party-goers were treated to some amazing weather, a good selection of exhibitions and an abundance of free booze last night. With the addition of a href=”http://www.nohodesigndistrict.com/”NoHo Design District/a this year, the whole Soho/Downtown party night has grown substantially in size making it a real destination. We gave out a bunch more a href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/photopaddles/”Photo Paddles/a between drinks and have a handful left if you’re in the Meatpacking District today!/p

pCore-fave a href=”http://www.subports.com/”Subports/a, a text-to-buy retail platform aimed at helping artists and designers sell their stuff without needing four walls, a roof and a cash register, is ever present during this year’s design week, partnering with Fair Folks A Goat, the Joey Roth Sounds Like Show, Uncomfortable Conversations, and CITE Goes America. Many objects from these shows come with codes, allowing you to purchase them securely and on the spot with your cell phone. We love thismdash;with Subports, exhibition spaces hybridize with retail spaces, helping young designers sell work while upping their visibility./p

pSubports’ just-published first catalog is one of the more fun publications being tossed around at openings. Named Portal/76825 after their SMS number, the pamphlet indexes the newest Subports offerings with images, descriptions, and purchase codes. Many of these come directly out of Design Week, so it also makes for a nice souvenir. Pick one up at any of the Subports partner shows mentioned above. Or a href=”http://www.subports.com/contact”get in touch/a with them if you’ve got ideas for more retail experiments with SMS. /p

High fives, hugs and handshakes? You’ll definitely want to meet Jordan and Jason of enormouschampion. I still recall their booth and happy smiles from two years ago when Glen and I met this fine dynamic duo! (profiled in our first issue of UPPERCASE magazine.)
