This year to celebrate the holidays and another year of business, Gana Atelier and Ippie Design are hosting a joint holiday party at Gana’s Chelsea Loft Studios on November 9th. Artists and friends will gather to have fun (the most important thing!) and have the chance to view some exciting new paintings and sculptures, as well as to view Ippie Design’s new jewelry collection.
I went over to Gana’s Chelsea Loft Studios last week and met with this amazing sculptor who is currently exhibiting in New York and will also be at our party! His name is Ji, Yong-Ho. All of his sculptures are made of tires. They are amazing, take a look at them!!!!
If you are interested in joining our party, please email: service@ippie.com to RSVP. Space is VERY LIMITED.

Hello from ippie
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in New York, I went to see a new show "Jump" in the Union Square Theatre. It was one of the most entertaining shows I've seen in quite sometime. After the show, I walked around Soho and looked at all the new winter fashion displayed in the windows. I don't know what exactly inspired me, but I saw this beautiful shape in my mind and I quickly sketched it so I would not forget. I was never a natural at drawing and painting. I was brought up in a business oriented family and my education was mainly focused on science and business. But I was somewhat a dreamer and always believed that if I have faith, my dreams will come true.
I received many emails after the Money Magazine's article about Ippie came out. I am extremely thankful that these people took the time to write to me and felt inspired by my story. For me, I think my story is a common one and if I can do it, so can you. It’s taking the first step that’s the most difficult but once you conjure up the courage to do it, it all falls in place.
