bklyn designs pre-show coverage: charliedoes


charliedoes is the studio of designer and illustrator charlie brokate. based in brooklyn, charlie will be debuting several new lighting designs at this year’s bklyn designs show. i love the simple and playful nature of charlie’s lamps- especially the designs with children and bicycles. i’ll be covering the show next week, but until then you can check out more of charlie’s work right here.

I think the artist nabbed photos of my dad as a child (in the 1930s and 40s) for his lamps! The little kid and his bike are slices of all the bedtime stories I heard about his antics.

Love the way Charlie thinks - his grasp of vernacular, and the way he can make *anything* poignant. The new lamps are even better. Luck, Charlie!
