About SusanAs a child, designer Susan Connor often found herself looking closely at things in the old New England home she grew up in; having what she considers "moments" with objects. Her father's tools and work surfaces...her mother's fabrics, clothespins and sewing supplies, a canvas dropcloth....a tin of shoe polish. These objects comforted her in their utility, and also amazed her with their often unappreciated beauty. The idea of doing more with less, and of bringing a frugal yet inspired creativity to everyday objects is a staple of what and how she creates.
Susan is an NYC-based designer. She grew up in a creaky bohemian home outside of Boston, where there was always art on the walls, a project in the works, good food on the table, and an eclectic mix of DIY ingenuity, humor and handiness. Today, she lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend, writer Kurt Wildermuth. |
