Be Original Americas is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the value of original design and Niche is proud to be a member. The organization is hosting an online benefit auction from now through May 16th. The auction features furniture, lighting, tabletop, and accessories from leading design companies. Bid for the chance to bring a modern classic into your collection and support Be Original Americas’ first-ever summer fellowship program!

The fellowship will host two college students for a 7-week program. The two selected fellows will be introduced to all facets of creating original products from research, design and manufacturing to marketing, sales and distribution through hands-on learning through various Be Original member companies. 

Niche has contributed one of our signature Stamen pendant lights to the auction. You have through May 16th to enter a bid on the Stamen pendant light or a number of any other beautifully designed, original products. A winning bid on any product in the auction goes directly to supporting the next generation of Be Original advocates. It's truly a win-win!
