As you may recall, I’ve shared some sustainable design and development stories from Mozambique while working with Allan Schwarz. The whole team is super excited to officially be launching the A.D. Schwarz line for the first time in New York with some limited quantities of handwrought sustainably-harvested wood jewelry and Sofala plates. You can read more about the project below. The items will be available at Linhardt Design Studio on 156 1st Avenue.
