Posted November 18, 200816 yr Couldn't find an existing thread for this type of thing, but please merge if I missed a good fit. The New York Times had a nice little write up about this cool Cleveland design company that makes mod metal furniture: http://22ndcenturycompositions.com/about.html Some really cool stuff in their portfolio. Would be cool if they shared a showroom with APOC for one-stop Cleveland awesomeness shopping. Article hear: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/13/garden/13goods.html?scp=38&sq=Cleveland&st=nyt

November 18, 200816 yr [i'm not sure if this was posted, but I thought this was a cool Cleveland business nonetheless and belonged here.] http://blog.cleveland.com/business/2008/11/business_cashes_in_recycling_u.html Recycling business cashes in on used gift cards Posted by Sarah Hollander/Plain Dealer Reporter November 17, 2008 16:28PM GREEN INC. A monthly look at companies embracing sustainability Rodd Gilbert wants gift cards to keep giving. With the holidays approaching, millions of the familiar plastic cards are heading for the hands of happy consumers. The thought of those cards, once spent, filling landfills inspired the Solon man to develop a new recycling method. Gilbert's company, Earthworks System LLC, collects polyvinyl chloride scrap left over from the card manufacturing process, discontinued stock, cancelled jobs, rejects and spent cards. Card manufacturers and distributors donate most of the PVC, with retailers and individuals supplying the rest.
November 18, 200816 yr A company after my own heart. I'm Verklempted. I think I've seen there stuff in NYC. I know I've seen that wheel chair loveseat before! For the life of me I can't remember the show I think they were on with others who dumpster dived and made stuff out of trash.
November 18, 200816 yr Wow, that 22nd Century stuff is pretty amazing! EDIT: by the way, here's the link to Cleveland Art.
November 18, 200816 yr These guys should be talking to the District of Design people, like, yesterday.

Just got 4 the other day... http://cleclothingco.com/ Two of my friends from high school own CLE Clothing. They recently just sold their 20,000th shirt!
May 21, 201015 yr CLE Clothing is awesome. A couple of other local clothing stores that make similar types of t-shirts, but their names escape me at the moment.
August 2, 201014 yr A great retrospective of the venerable Rose Iron Works in today's PD, including its central role in American Art Deco and and the interesting history of its owners/artisans. Definitely worth a read: Renowned Rose Iron Works going strong after a century in Cleveland http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2010/08/renowned_rose_iron_works_going.html
August 11, 201014 yr Congrats to Objeti, a Willoughby-based furniture maker for being named co-best new designer at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair! http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/20/garden/20icff.html?sq=Cleveland&st=nyt&scp=19&pagewanted=all A nice write-up about Objeti on Cleveland.com today: http://www.cleveland.com/insideout/index.ssf/2010/08/willoughby_ohio-based_objeti_f.html This guy is like the design district dream for NEO. Hope he can scale up production locally.
August 11, 201014 yr The first company that comes to mind when I think of cool Cleveland businesses is Great Lakes Brewing Co. Love their place and their beer. http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/ "Burning River" is a nice, new twist on CLE's reputation.
