Design Nerd Alert: 33 Gifts @ 33 Bond
Filed Under: general On: December 17, 2009 posted by: casey

If you're looking for great art this holiday season, we've definitely got you covered. However, if it's design you're after, then you won't want to miss out on 33 Gifts @ 33 Bond, a pop-up gift shop running through the end of December. This shop-within-a-shop, which can be found inside Vitsoe's beautiful showroom at 33 Bond St, features a "joyfully considered selection" of thirty-three gifts for your most design-savvy friends. In fact, the shop was curated by our own edition-maker Gregory Krum, who by-day serves as Retail Director for the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
The unique selection of gifts has already garnered the attention and praise of editors at Lucky Magazine, Cool Hunting, and The Scout as well as that of Ms. Jen Bekman, who counts herself among the fans of Vitsoe's legendary Dieter Rams-designed shelving system.
The Scout writes:
On our visit, we had the pleasure of meeting Michael Vince who described to us the level of care and painstaking precision involved in the production of their components: the exact alignment of pins, the secure shut of a cabinet, and the strength and simplicity of its aluminum tracks—features that have been perfected and remain for over 50 years. At this moment, it is easy to see why VitsÅ“ endures. It is simply, good.
If nerdy design details like these get you as excited as they get us, then take our word for it and head on over to 33 @ 33 to spread some art + design cheer!
