On this grey & rainy Chicago day, we’re enjoying getting lost in the porcelain world of gdg studios. This first-time Renegade Brooklyn maker creates dreamy pieces that evoke nature, geometry, and stillness all at once. Seriously, don’t you want a cup of tea from that faceted mug right now?

We’re keeping the maker spotlights coming today with our first Brooklyn blog! Today’s featured maker is Classic Goggles, the rugged line of leather and wood works by first-time Renegade Brooklyn vendor Gabor Ruzsan. If ever there were crafts that could be called “handsome”, these are it. Solid, natural, and beautifully handmade — we’re sold.
