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.

Friendly objects for designy people
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe the best design evokes good feelings, and think everyday objects should be as fun as they are functional.
YOURS FOR KEEPS
We make everyday objects for home, work and play that are for keeps. Our products are artful, fun, and have a story just as unique as the designers who created them.
HOW WE WORK
We collaborate with independent designers to create pieces that bring a touch of delight and charm into your home. Some of our designers are well-known and established in the industry, while others are up-and-coming, bringing diversity and a fresh perspective to the world of design.

Pat Kim is a Brooklyn based designer and artist working primarily in objects and furniture rooted in the philosophy of sculptural simplicity and enduring quality.
The importance of being hands on and self-sufficient are important factors in his work. Driven by a compulsive need to experiment in his waterfront Redhook studio, Pat is constantly creating works that build on self taught techniques and those gleaned from traditional craft. His works span the gamut between art to the functional, in three and two dimensions.
His studio practice reflects a creative conflict of philosophies: Oscillating between pure form exploration and tight functional pieces; between carefully planned, purposely executed pieces and expressive experiments in material and method.
Pat Kim Studied Industrial Design at the Pratt Institute, with a short stint at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. He lives and works in the Redhook neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
