Centro 18 Karat 5 Shelf 18 Karat

Knee deep in it

For the last year I’ve been traveling. Not for pleasure, though it’s been fun — rather traveling to buy for Centro. I took along design friends and we hit New York, China, Dallas, Chicago, Toronto and purchased things that excited us with hopes it would excite you too.

We found beautiful finished goods from numerous designers and manufacturers as well as raw materials and structures for making custom products in our design shop.

And then time went bye — we began to design and build the store and got caught up in making things happen.

Now within weeks of opening, the stuff is arriving. And arriving. And so we find ourselves knee deep in it with seemingly no where to shovel it. Thankfully, a few of the products we ordered were shelves and tables.

Vancouver’s 18 Karat being one of the design manufactures that we purchased a number of inspiring products from including the shelves and baskets shown here.

More, much more, to come.
