Shinzi Katoh at Penelope's

Over the weekend, we stopped by Penelope's in Wicker Park, where we were totally charmed by Shinzi Katoh's line of housewares. The Japanese artist is well-known for illustrating children's books and personalizing bento boxes with his distinctive drawings. (His designs for children have been blogged on ohdeedoh before.) Click below for the selection we saw...

Aluminum Trekking Bottles ($19)

Glass Soap Pumps ($19)

Kiss Poster ($34) and Hide and Seek Poster ($34)

Insulated Trekking Bottles ($32)

Shinzi Trays ($38)

Bags and Bottles

Deep Forest Poster ($34)

I love this. Does anyone know of any SF-area stores that stock this designer?

I bought one of his trays through this online store and they had a selection of his other pieces as well. FYI: The trays are much creamier in color than what they appear in the pictures. www.threepotatofourshop.com
