areaware makes functional objects and gifts for home, work, and play while collaborating with independent designers.

Who We Are: 

We create friendly objects for designy people. 

We believe the best design evokes good feelings, and think everyday objects should be as fun as they are functional. We make everyday objects for home, work and play that are for keeps. Our products are artful, fun, and have a story just as unique as the designers who created them.

How We Work:

We collaborate with independent designers to create pieces that bring a touch of delight and charm into your home. Some of our designers are well-known and established in the industry, while others are up-and-coming, bringing diversity and a fresh perspective to the world of design.

I received a set of Areaware salad tongs as a gift, and I love them! I appreciate that way this brand transforms the ordinary, boring, and mundane objects of quotidian life into artistic, whimsical pieces.

I have their table tile coasters and though they are cute, I find that my cups stick to them if they have any condensation on them. It can be a bit frustrating when I'm lifting a glass and the coaster comes up with it and then falls to the ground. 

their whisky rocks are SO beautiful and one of my favorite beverage related purchases!

Good place to find a variety of excellent brands. I got a puzzle in 2020 and then have gone back for some other things here and there. 

I love the Areaware puzzles. They are adorable, fun puzzles that are high quality. I have tons of the little puzzle thing puzzles which are all under 100 pieces and are great to do in about 20-30 minutes while drinking my morning coffee. 

Areaware is a great go-to for gifts, even your designer friends will love a gift from them. As a designer, I appreciate that this small business curates their products so it isn't oversaturated. I've gotten myself their book ends, mirror, and all things chen and kai. 

Thoughtful and unique collection of home goods. My go-to for purchasing gifts.

If you know I'm a plant daddy, you know I got the Chen and Kai stacking planters. I've got the 2 tier and the 4 tier. Am I bragging, probably. 

We had friend and guest of the show, Selena Liu on the Wear Many Hats podcast and we talked about her Serving Friends line on there. Check it out on all platforms and at wearmanyhats.com to listen!

Have a sweet little Areaware vase that I love. Great price, very fun!

Mostly know of Areaware because of their puzzles which are fun and/or aesthetically pleasing and worked well as pandemic gifts.
