Areaware
Design as a Daily Gesture
Areaware is a New York design label, founded in 2005 by Lisa Yashon and Noel Wiggins in Brooklyn. The brand stands for a simple principle: everyday objects can be witty, clever and beautiful — not as luxury items, but as things you keep.
Independent Designers, Concrete Ideas
Areaware works with a network of independent designers from the New York area. Every product originates from a concrete design idea, not from market research. Well-known objects include the Cubebot by David Weeks Studio, the Little Puzzle Things and the Palimals by Rilla Alexander. Several products have received the Good Design Award.
Living, Playing, Giving
The range moves between home accessories, desk objects, puzzles, toys and candles. All products share the same attitude: functional, concept-driven, with a wink. Areaware describes itself as producing ‘everyday objects that are for keeps’.
Twenty Years of Brooklyn
For twenty years, Areaware has been shaping from Brooklyn how modern design objects can look. The combination of accessibility and genuine design ambition has created its own category.
Areaware x One Horizon
At One Horizon, we carry Areaware because good design needs no detour. The products are direct, thoughtful and fun. Whether as a gift or for your own desk: Areaware objects speak for themselves.
