We do not offer free shipping. We believe in being transparent about shipping costs, and we want to raise awareness about how ordering products impacts the planet and its people.

The idea for the gallery arose during studio visits conducted for the thing Magazine. Many independent artists and designers create small series or unique pieces but often struggle to distribute or sell their work. We saw an opportunity: on one hand, to create a platform that showcases the incredible work of these creatives and provides them with a source of income; and on the other, to use the thing Gallery as a way to support the independence of the thing Magazine by providing a secondary revenue stream.
