Form Meets Function: Chilewich
You know those design brands that just check all the boxes? The ones that combine form and function, and if you can believe, are easily maintained? Well, we've got one we're just over the moon for. Chilewich is passionate about designing textiles that are beautiful, durable, and easy-to-clean. And a bonus (because you know we love those), the brand is committed to sustainability, with their woven textiles containing a minimum of 18% renewable vegetable content and made entirely in the United States. Led by creative director Sandy Chilewich, their design team includes master weavers who develop and refine innovative patterns and multi-tonal colors for collections that are renewed seasonally. And since the expansion of touchGOODS, we've been thrilled to carry Chilewich's lineup of modern placemats, floor mats, and more...

Just like interior design and style, a name is personal. Ours is rooted in the story of our business, from early beginnings to historical inspiration, family ties to collaborations. Helmed by a craftswoman with an eye for midcentury modern décor boasting clean, sweeping lines, soft edges, simple ornamentation, minimal fuss, well-constructed joints, and high quality wood with the warmest of tones, touchGOODS is a nod toward the simpler times born out of necessity. Now what defines simple has changed in this modern tech world. So what's in a name? And does its meaning change?

That New, New - Check Out Our Expanded Space!

That New, New - Check Out Our Expanded Space!

We've been rocking and rolling - or perhaps more like ordering and unpacking - with our newly expanded space! When we took over the neighboring storefront to our beloved flagship (we can say that now, right?), it was important to us to fulfill the need for housewares in our area, making touchGOODS more like a department store. Finding that balance between form, function, and sustainably has always been at the core of what we do, so it was only natural to add onto our furniture and lighting offerings. And don't worry, we're still focused on sustainable, modern, and midcentury designs as we continue adding unique, handcrafted, well-made, clever, high quality goods to the expanded space.
