We are a small design firm in NYC called FusionLab. Last year we started developing apps for the iPhone and iPad. Since quite a lot of people will probably get an iPad (or an iPhone) this season, we think one of our apps would be a perfect fit.

1. For photographers: image/words for the iPad is a poetic discovery tool for photographers and writers. http://imagewords.org/

2. For kids: Antique ABCs for the iPhone or iPad is a uniquely delightful tool for preschool and kindergarten learning, set in an atmosphere of nostalgic charm. http://antiqueabcs.com/

The December Store of Artist Multiples and Small Works at .NO, a Non-profit Art Gallery
Saturdays 12 –6 in December

We are very pleased to announce the December Store, an artists multiples and small works store at .NO a Non-profit Art Gallery at 251 East Houston Street in NYC. Open every Saturday in December leading up to Christmas. The December Store is the curatorial initiative of Vanessa Albury and Sörine Anderson. December Store comprised of over 50 NYC-based and international artists selling works. Inspired by the pop-up store of the Fluxus era and the notion that everyone should be able to afford to own art, Anderson and Albury have assembled artists within their own community to participate in this project. The artists range from writers to international curators, filmmakers to bookmakers, poets to perfumers, and bakers to painters. Many of the works are specially crafted for the December Store. You'll find snow globes, masks, paintings, prints, jewelry, objects, hand-painted cards, audio and video works and much more for $100 or less. Shopping at the December Store will also provide support for .NO, an artist-run, non-for-profit which opened earlier this year.

Each Saturday a NYC-based artist working in performance or video will be featured. Video screenings by Ronnie Bass, Amy Granat and John Torreano. Performances by Rachel Mason, Jason Martin and special guests.

Visit our facebook event for sneak peaks on artworks in the December Store or to contact us. http://www.facebook.com/events/318721534820587/

First and foremost I love love the products...the feel...the smell...they work. When other skincare companies are making things more complicated we have a simplified approach.
Secondly I love working for a small family owned company who care for their customers, their employees and their community. Malin+Goetz are Matthew and Andrew and have been partners in life for 18 years and in business for 8. They saw all of the small family owned companies being gobbled up by big multi national companies and felt there was still a demand for the small family owned skincare company.
