Today I bring you the fabulous work of Melanie Porter. Familiar yet suprising, it’s her combination of classic design with unexpected elements that really caught and continued to hold my attnetion.
Melanie worked as a knitwear designer for 10 years, and that influence is clearly seen here. After working with intenrational fashion, Melanie moved on to create the furniture you see here. Each starts as an existing chair the designer find and is then rehopohlsted to be a unique work of art. See more from Melanie here.

Inspired by a hat John Ross’ mom Yasuko made for her son’s first New York winter, designers John Ross and Don Carney established PATCH NYC Inc. in the fall of 1997. Using hand-dyed wool from the Union Square Farmers Market and vintage buttons for embellishment, the designers created a small collection of hand-crochet wool hats that became an immediate success. PATCH NYC’s appreciation for color, vintage embroidery, appliqué and beading techniques quickly become the signature style of the brand.
