2008-01-14-velocitylogo.jpgVelocity Art and Design is one of those shops that we bet you've visited virtually at least once.


2008-01-14-cherner2.jpg Why is Velocity such a "go-to" online shop? One is history - they've been around since 1999 - another big factor is the super selection. The names speak for themselves:

and that is just a small sampling...

We also believe that the inclusion of "art" in their store name and, of course, in their lineup of goods is key to their success. In addition to selling limited editions and prints from interesting designers/artists, they also sell original works from some of the most popular yet affordable artists working today. To name a few: Amy Ruppel, Ashley Goldberg, Jeremiah Ketner, Lisa Congdon, Lorena Siminovich and Matte Stephens.

Finally, factor in the ease of a gift registry and the bonus of free shipping on orders over $50, and you have a very well rounded one-stop shop to browse, dream and buy for the modern home.

I love the site (I find myself browsing there a few times a week) but I was very disappointed to hear that they stopped shipping to Canada!

I love the Atlantico line in Cherry but the cost is prohibitive. Does anyone have any recommendations for this style in a lesser price range? We have scoured R&B, Crate and Barrel and West Elm but really prefer a cherry finish to the oak or wenge that is available in these stores.

Thanks for any suggestions!
