UNIQUE LA: SOMEWARE

Comparing which products I found interesting at last weekend’s unique LA, I definitely see a common thread. Maybe it’s my wanderlust emerging, but 4/5 of my photographed booths had modern interpretations of international crafts. Whether Guatemalan weaving or Mexican Otami, I liked the products that took traditional patterns and applied them to modern wares.

Someware is an online store that features curated items for the home; handcrafted by artisans and designers around the world. According to the website, the items are “handmade with love, care, and thought.” The founder is from Columbia, and brings traditional crafts remade with modern geometries to the American market. Inspired by geometric forms and colorful palettes, the first first collection explores ethnic designs from Colombia and Peru.The curation of items is based on selecting talented makers who pay close attention to craftsmanship, quality, and design. The brand definitely evokes their tagline, “The best living spaces cultivate a lifestyle that takes simple pleasures seriously.”
