Woonwinkel : everyday goods that shine bright.☀️
About Us:
Woonwinkel is a Portland, Oregon-based home and gift shop where everyday goods shine bright. Our passion for color makes your visit more than just a shopping trip--it uplifts and inspires.
Over twenty years in the color design industry have taught me that color is powerful. When our eye takes in color, it sends a message to our brain to decipher it. As it’s doing so, the brain releases a hormone which affects moods, focus, appetite, energy levels and more. Every color benefits us in some way, and at its best it ignites a powerful emotional reaction.
Our Values:
While the search for colorful objects is fun, our vision goes beyond what we can put in someone’s shopping bag. We also strive to metaphorically "see in color". We believe differences within our team and our community make us stronger and richer. We prioritize building an environment in which different perspectives are valued. We act on that through who and how we hire, and how we pledge to communicate within our team. We're ever expanding our collections of products and publications by Black, Brown, queer, and other resilient marginilized groups, and we celebrate and amplify voices from these communities. We financially contribute to our community through organizations that advance diversity, equity, inclusion, justice.
Our Vision:
We strive to inspire our customer through joyful aesthetics. We look for objects that SHINE BRIGHT. They’re…
Singular, unique or small run, by independent designers and small companies (because big-box-store sameness is boring)
Alive in color (because color can alter your mood, improve your performance, and do good)
A beacon, an example (that makes our world a better place in some way)
Happy-making (we love to pull people together, we love the cheerful, the silly, the fun)
Lastly, we believe in owning fewer, better things and have a strong preference for items that are long lasting or recycleable to reduce our environmental impact.

hap·tic // relating to the sense of touch
About Us:
Haptic Lab is rooted in a history of using sensory design with intention, to do good, and find a way. Founded by Emily Fischer, a Brooklyn-based architect, the first product Emily created was a quilted map when her mother was diagnosed with glaucoma — these early projects were meant to be used as a wayfinding tool for the visually impaired. Helping people “see” through their sense of touch, their Haptic sense.
Honoring this history, today, Haptic Lab continues to specialize in tactile and sensory design, designing objects and spaces that thoughtfully explore the sense of touch and feel.
Haptic designs counter the rapid digitization of our lives, creating space for intentionality, and recognition of the real, physical world our bodies occupy. We supply the inspiration and guidance to help you feel a sensory connection to the environment that surrounds you.
We make intricate quilts, kites, and objects that bring together new technologies with traditional craft techniques. At the core of each project lies a sense of playfulness that is both timeless and boundless.
Staying true to our roots, we continue to design with intention as a tool to create impactful, positive change in the world.
Our team:
We are a small team of artisans, designers, and tinkerers. Drawing on our diverse, creative skills, we seek to change the world of producing goods to bring about transparency, simplicity, sustainability and consciousness.
