The Lower East Side has never been polished. It was built through collision: creatives, independent businesses, galleries, studios, people testing ideas against the city itself.
What defines the neighborhood is density. Proximity. Exchange. Noise. Risk. A place where culture is produced through friction, improvisation and constant reinvention.
The Lower East Side Collective begins during @nycxdesign as an initiative to reconnect the creative fabric that still exists here. A coalition of spaces and individuals rooted in the neighborhood and invested in its future. As a statement that the Lower East Side remains a place where creativity is lived before it is sold.

Our new stoneware Ball and Burlap planter takes its form and texture from a horticultural technique. When moving trees and shrubs the root ball is often wrapped in burlap and twine — It’s called ball and burlapping. We thought the aesthetic would make a nice hanging planter.
We’ve gotten the first few pieces out of mold, have figured out that hanging mechanism, and are testing it out. The product will launch @fieldandsupply in June!
the Ball and Burlap planter is not a new idea. It was originally conceived in 2018 for Areaware but as with many good things, it took some time to bring it to life.

RIP Kurosaki. So nice to spend a little time in your light. And just like you to leave the party quietly, and a little early. You will be missed by many.
Designer @harryallendesign helped launch our very first collection and has been an integral part of the Areaware story. Over 20 years and forty-plus products later, his Reality series remains some of our most beloved—and most recognizable. Thank you for your playful irony, inventive point of view, and the pig, Harry. 💛
