An email from Caleb Beyers, who we last saw at Gastown’s Catalog gallery…

So, I wanted to write and let you know about my latest project: a pop-up shop that I’ve opened with my wife Hanahlie, under the banner of the design studio that we run together: Caste Projects. It’s in the temporary retail space that’s set up in the Rize building on the corner of 10th and Kingsway (the same building in which The Cheaper Show was held this year). We’ve gathered together products from a bunch of local designers (as well as a few national and international ringers). I would say that most of the stuff falls into the hand-crafted design goods category, but it’s all got a pretty specific, polished-but-not-fancy aesthetic. We’re also showcasing some products that we’ve designed, including some hand-felted animals, laser-cut perpetual calendars, a hand-felted rug, a sofa/day-bed/bookshelf, shelving made from molo design refuse, and a giant wool bear.

It looks some pretty sweet curation went down. Participating designers include Henderson Dry Goods, Tannis Hegan, Zillion, Red Flag, Stranger Things and many, many more (including our pals from The Found And The Freed).

We’re really looking forward to checking it out! Visit their website here, and cruise their Tumblr there.
