4 Favorite New Home Product Designs - from Groopti

I'm a huge fan of giving talented product design newcomers a chance to bring their creations to market - but there are so many steps involved in translating a "thing" from a design on paper and turn it into a manufactured product.
Groopti.com was created last year to help newbies bring their designs to market; the Groopti design team comes up with modifications that help turn ideas into manufacturing processes that are economical, energy-conscious, and in many cases eco-friendly - and they provide an online marketplace to help the designers sell their wares.
We all benefit when we purchase products like these. It's vital to encourage home design talent. You could be supporting tomorrow's superstar designers. We've selected four items we love, and if you click on each, you'll see more information about the product. And visit Groopti.com regularly to support talented designers.





As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I get excited when an organization like Groopti forms in order to give design newcomers a chance to be discovered. If you're interested in learning more about interior design, then I encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.
