Design Co-op Debuts at Brooklyn Flea
Lena Corwin for Brooklyn Flea

Last weekend marked the debut of the Design Co-op at the Fort Greene Brooklyn Flea, bringing together under one tent the best and brightest local designers, as curated by textile designer and illustrator Lena Corwin. 

The illustrious list of designers to be featured each Saturday includes Lotta Jansdotter, Laura Normandin, Marcie McGoldrick, Moontree Letterpress, Sesame Letterpress, MAPTOTE, Wayne Pate/Good Shape Design, and Lena Corwin, with more joining the roster in November and more still for the Flea's Gifted holiday market beginning November 22. 

The co-op will be manned by the designers on a rotating basis, with a treasure trove of home goods, jewelry, accessories, textiles, art and much more waiting for bundled-up Flea-goers.
