The Alpha Workshops is a New York-based non-profit organization that provides HIV-positive individuals with industry-specific training and employment in the decorative arts. Its mission is “to provide a new model of economic development for people living with HIV/AIDS or other disabilities.”
The org is comprised of a vocational school, the Alpha Workshops Studio School (AWSS), and Alpha Workshops Studios, an AWSS-grad-staffed professional art and design atelier. Interior designers and architects can count the Alpha Workshops’ Studios as a resource for decorative arts services like gilding, special finishes and art installations in addition to design goods like hand-painted wallpapers, custom casegoods, lighting, and accessories. You can purchase items through a designer or at Alpha Workshops' Dering Hall storefront.
I'm especially excited by their wallpapers and the possibilities of creating custom designs! I just adore these two patterns, Caper and Oh So Faux...
These little stools are awesome...the finishes are the jam.
And last but not least, behold Alpha Workshops' gorgeous lamps!
The Surface Lamp in the faux Malachite finish is my favorite.
Those lamps are great!!!
