Areaware creates objects and gifts for home, work, and play in collaboration with independent designers. Based in Brooklyn, NY and Columbus, OH our small team is dedicated to creating functional and uplifting objects, designed with integrity. Above all else, our designers are at the heart of what we do. We work in close collaboration with our designers to realize their vision while responding to consumer needs and market forces. Our roster of independent designers work on a royalty-basis, and Areaware oversees all aspects of bringing a design product to market, including creative direction, product development, sourcing, marketing, sales and distribution. Each design we produce is exclusive to the Areaware brand. A truly inspired designer driven collection of thoughtful objects that creative blend nostalgia with modern design.
