Just a few doors down Sight Unseen took over a building that was vacant until just about a week ago. Here's a selection from the McMasterpieces exhibition (on the second floor), curated by the site's lovely founders, Jill Singer and Monica Khemsurov. The duo invited designers to create new work using materials from industrial supplier McMaster-Carr, including (from left to right): Crane Lamp by Jonas Damon; Basket, Trivet, and Tote by Alissa MT; Mesh Bowls by Henry Julier; Oil Lamps by Karl Zahn; Chess Set by Bec Brittain; Smolten Mirror by CMMNWLTH; Golden Variation Vase by Jonah Takagi; Necklace by Ross Menuez; Jewelry by Nick Dine.
