Opening First Friday Feb 4, Designbox celebrates the soft-opening of a year-round Designbox Shop with the artwork of local fashion designer, screenprinter and artist, Adam Peele. The gallery will be exploding with birds, flowers, trees and other flora and fauna inspired by Raleigh, Tokyo and Adam’s imagination.

Though not officially opening until April, the DB Shop is already bustling with lots of new items, including an irreverent greeting card wall featuring Blue Barnhouse, Trish Grantham, and Cool Jane Design. Just in are some smoking bunnies and stuffed liquor bottles by Knockabout! And our Paul Friedrich collection keeps growing…curated by Joey Fralin & Beth Khalifa [db]

Background

Designbox is Raleigh’s connection to creative culture, where independent creative professionals work, where emerging art is showcased, AND where fun, design-oriented products can be found in the new Designbox Shop.

Designbox is dedicated to promoting the expression of creativity through thoughtful collaboration. It is home to a number of creative professionals, many of whom have been nominated and won national honors in their respective fields. Designbox is responsible in part for nationally recognized events such as SparkCon, Kirby Derby Day, Xtreme Suburban Endurance Events and helping the City of Raleigh redesign the Dorothea Dix Landfill and City Plaza.

Designbox is located in the warehouse district of downtown Raleigh at 323 W. Martin Street (between Harrington and Dawson streets). Raleigh Denim is next door, CAM (opening April 30) is 2 doors away and Humble Pie shares a parking lot. Hours are weekdays from 10am to 6pm, and on most First Fridays from 7pm-10pm.

Additional hours beginning in April!: Saturdays from 11am–6pm
