NY NOW® Winter 2018

DESIGN LOOP LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE WIT & DELIGHT STATIONERY COLLECTION

Collection to Debut at NY NOW Bringing Beauty and Function Together for Any Workspace

NEW YORK, January 29, 2018design loop, a boutique product design and development company, is pleased to announce an exclusive new collection of stationery and desk accessories from leading lifestyle brand Wit & Delight. The Wit & Delight Stationery Collection will debut exclusively at the upcoming NY NOW winter 2018 market and be on display in the design loop booth (#7856) in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from February 4-7, 2018. 

The Wit & Delight Stationery Collection was created when Wit & Delight Founder Kate Arends found that many of the supplies in her own office left her less-than-inspired. Having previously worked with design loop on other product collaborations, Arends set out to design a new line of office and stationery products where elegance and function meet, offering something for every workspace.

“A workspace should be a place of inspiration, where you can do your best creating. It shouldn’t be a somber environment with utility as the only prerequisite for the tools and accessories on your desk,” said Kate Arends, Founder of Wit & Delight. “The design loop team – a group that truly understands how to fuse beauty and function together in a meaningful way – have been true partners in the development of this line.  I’m excited to bring the Wit & Delight Stationery Collection to life and inspire everyone who uses it to deliver their best work.”

The Wit & Delight Stationery Collection features items that fit seamlessly in office bags and elegantly sit on your desk.   Color blocking, patterning, high-end materials and a bit of wit are incorporated into each item.  Whether it be a journal for general musings, a notepad that houses your to-do lists or a concrete pencil holder to elevate your desk design, the Wit & Delight Stationery Collection has something for every workspace.  

 “At design loop, we work with artists that share our passion and commitment to bring well-designed products to market,” said Stacey Fernstrom, VP of Product.  “We are delighted to collaborate with Kate Arends and the Wit & Delight team to bring this beautiful stationery collection to life.”

Featured items from the thoughtfully curated Wit & Delight Stationary Collection include:

Concrete Pencil Holder 

The Wit & Delight Concrete Pencil Holder sits beautifully on a desktop and is the perfect place to store pencils, pens and paint brushes - keeping these items on the forefront when creating beautiful content.  The colored concrete is an innovative aspect to the item, providing a sleek, modern and elegant way to house writing utensils.
