Shopper’s Diary: Haymaker in Chicago

November 9, 2011

I recently had a chance to stop by The Haymaker Shop, located in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago, which exemplifies a new generation of home goods stores focusing on local design. The owner, Arrin Williams, envisioned a creative ecosystem that represents the work and spirit of designers; everything in the store is produced by designers and artists in Chicago and the Midwest and showcases Williams' love of craftsmanship. For more information, go to The Haymaker Shop.

Photography by Sara Pooley and Arrin Williams.
