Happening: David Stark's Wood Shop for Haus
David Stark creates pop-up 'workshop' in Manhattan
I live in a loft in Brooklyn, a recent transplant to Greenpoint (love my neighborhood!). I work as a freelance writer, blogger, stylist, gilder, and crafter. I curate a daily personal lifestyle blog called the Haystack Needle (http://www.thehaystackneedleonline.com). I'm also one half of the shop Cabin 7 (http://www.shopcabin7.com) — a collection of gilded objects for the home. I started out in magazines, working in the home department of Real Simple magazine and later worked as the home editor of Redbook. I love to scout cool finds for the home — everything from an amazing loveseat to a green laundry detergent that really works. I'm a new mama to our baby girl, Juniper, who amazes me every day with her curiosity for life and big smiles.

You've probably heard of pop-up shops, but have you heard of a shop ambush? That's the surprise twist that sparked David Stark's Wood Shop for Haus in Manhattan this month.
Event designer Stark and his team has transformed Nina Freudenberger's design shop, Haus Interior, into a fanciful version of a woodshop. For the month of February, the home interiors shop features 75 wood-inspired objects illustrating Stark's clever, whimsical design.
The little shop looks like a wood wonderland — you feel like you're walking into a museum of curiosities where you want to play with everything. I walked away feeling that everyone needs a wooden cupcake in their life. Here's a peek into this creative event, and some of my favorite finds.

The team worked with a women's cooperative in Bolivia to crochet these saw and hammer pillows. (I'm partial to the saw.)
Stark and team installed walls, signs, and props from top to bottom of the shop.

David Stark Design is known for inventive event design, and they did not disappoint with all the big and small details created to dress up Haus like a woodworker's shop, complete with a wooden woodworker with his lunchpail.

That's a wooden straw with a wooden drink you're looking at. The sense of humor is refreshing — home design should be fun.

I have a sweet tooth, so the wooden cupcakes, pies, and cakes in the Wood Shop were a few of my favorite finds.
Displaying a wooden cake on a stand in your dining room would definitely add a whimsical style to the space. You could serve a slice with a glass of wood champagne.

A wood-carving kit is one of the most popular items in the collection. You get a slice of a log and a tool for carving your sweetheart's initials into the wood. What a cool Valentine's gift!
Another clever gift is the Wood You Be Mine box. The wooden "chocolates" come in different candy-like shapes with a key (inspired by chocolate guides) showing which wood is which.

The wooden nickels have been another big hit from the collection. I love the idea of displaying a collection like this in a jar.

The glass dome of brassy nails looked great. I could see one displayed on a bookcase in a cool bachelor space.

If you're in the New York area, I recommend checking out Wood Shop in person. While a good portion of the collection is available online, there are many other one-a-kind pieces you'll see only there.

Becky Harris I love David Stark! He's such a genius, he's totally accessible and kind, and his website is so much fun. Thanks so much for sharing this Jen. I wish he would do a pop-up in my city, Atlanta!
