Selling at Hypermarket
To submit work for consideration, email us at: hypermarket@hyperakt.comHow are products chosen?Generally, these are our guidelines for choosing products: 1) It must be an example of excellent design, 2) We must love it, 3) It must be independently designed, 4) No other shop in the neighborhood (Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill) must carry it while we do. 4) It must fit in our space (the shop occupies a space shared by our design studio, so the space is not large). New products also need to fit in well with our current lineup. If we really love your work, but it doesn't work with the current lineup, we will work with you to schedule its inclusion at a future date. All products are sold on consignment.
Are there any products you're especially interested in at the moment?Yes. Custom t-shirts, ready-to-wear, jewelry, small personal products or objects, paper goods, books, zines.
