the Designer Pages blog

Hello faithful readers of 3rings.  We’re moving the blog to another server, so 3rings will be down for a bit this weekend.  Sorry for the inconvenience, it was just too damn slow on the old server.

We launched the site on September 1st with just over 7,000 interior design and architectural products. Our goal was to have 25,000 products by May. Well, we made that goal and then some. Say hello to the 30,000th product posted on Designer Pages, Sandbar Double Up, by Canlis Glass.

As you may have noticed, we’ve got some news (fine, pun intended). Designer Pages had joined forces with one of our favorite architecture blogs, Archinect to deliver the latest headlines on architecture and design. This is a great opportunity for everyone, both designers and suppliers. Here’s why…
Designers, we know knowledge is power. […]

One of the benefits of working with great architects and engineers is the offices you get to see. Jake and I have been compiling lists of our favorite lobbies, elevator banks, and reception areas from all the world class offices we’ve been in lately. Today, we were blown away by the New York […]
