My very lucky business partner, Beth, has just returned from 2JANE’s summertime visit to Chicago for the biannual gift show in the Merchandise Mart. The Mart is an impressive building at 4.2 million square feet—it’s almost as large as the Pentagon and the biggest commercial space on the planet. It would be easy to get lost in its infinite hallowed walls so we’re fortunate our collection is housed in the Right Brain showroom. Owned and run by veteran giftware maven Barbara Gross, Right Brain is one of the sweetest pieces of giftware real estate not only in the Mart but in the country. Thanks for another great show, Barbara!
At the entrance of the showroom, 2JANE takes center stage in the Right Brain collection.
The Innermost collection is vast and varied but the overall clean, contemporary look is well showcased in Right Brain.
Beth escaped the showroom to enjoy the beauty that is Chicago in the summer framed by Chi-Town's perennially compelling architecture. Here, the Millineum Park.
The barely 60-day old Modern Wing of the Chicago Art Institute is the latest addition to Chicago's architectural tome. Renzo Piano's vanguard sun-screen canopied building also happens to house one of 2JANE's newest customers, the Modern Shop, who carry Innermost's iconic Fantome Clocks and Ghost Candelabras.
Love that town!
