Next week don't miss this dose of American Pride, design style:

"The American Design Club presents its inaugural exhibition, Outside of Sorts, and bring together a variety of Americans, designers, and different approaches to the theme of "Outside." The American Design Club (AmDC) Founded 2008, aims to bring together designers working under the American Flag, membership is open - it is suggested, although not necessary, that members are designers and/or Americans. Currently there is a lack of representation of American designers, outside our borders, and a similar lack within. The AmDC seeks to heighten awareness for emerging designers, further promote a sense of community among one another, and to provide exhibition opportunities.

Outside of Sorts draws designers from all walks of life, including works from California and Texas, to the local-grown Brooklyn scene. It marks a great first collection of the American Design Club and promises a bright future. The theme has been interpreted literally in some cases with objects to be used outside, conceptually with products on the outside looking in, and with work whose relationship is tangential to outside ideas, green, play, or things we commonly find when we leave our home. The show offers pieces for sale such as furniture, lighting, jewelry, table top accessories, however, much of the show involves the rare chance to view prototypes only. The curators liberally interpreted the submission parameters in order to show the widest variety of work being done in the United States, and to great effect. The team of curators includes Charles Brill, Henry Julier, Annie Lenon, Kiel Mead, Theo Richardson, and Alex Williams."
