Ask her how she stocks Mc & Co, the under-the-radar home furnishings and accessories boutique in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the French-born decorative painter Corinne Gilbert will blithely reply, �I just go to my friends.� Her best buds in Paris, Catherine L�vy and Sigol�ne Pr�bois, the team behind Ts� & Ts� Associ�es, give Gilbert access to their entire range of tableware and lighting (including their asymmetrical black goblets). Justin Giunta � the founder of Subversive Jewelry, who served as Gilbert�s assistant before becoming the current darling of costume-jewelry collectors � will unveil his foray into lamp design at Mc & Co this fall. Jagged white ceramic vases appear courtesy of Joan Bankemper. There are new discoveries, too, like Sylvain Willenz�s delicate arboreal light sculpture and Casey O�Connor�s glasses with nature-study decals � la Albertus Seba. Gilbert has also chipped in, designing the chicest tarp totes on either side of the Atlantic. What a pal! 57 North Sixth Street; (718) 388-3551. By Charlotte Druckman Published: November 4, 2007 in the New York Times Magazine Mc & Co is an outstanding home and style boutique in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that Page and Shane have been raving about for months. (Check out Shane'sblog about Mc & Co from March.) They are constantly inspired by owner Corinne Gilbert�s eye for outstanding design � in both the products she sells and the store displays she creates. If you are in the NYC area, and want to be inspired you should definitely swing by. So when Page was asked about a particularly interesting necklace she often wears no one was surprised to discover her source was Mc & Co. The necklace in question is composed of insanely fun, brightly colored rubber bands, and is an instant conversation starter. It combines the idea of simple childhood pastimes (discovering multiple uses for office supplies like making paper clip into jewelry and enjoying rubber cement�s transcendent fumes) with high art. But Page bought it for a different reason: �I was attracted to this necklace at MC&Co because I collect rubber bands. Plus, I love the modern, graphic and colorful pattern it creates when you wear it with black or white.� While we�d like to give the artist who created it credit, Page informs us that Gilbert has lost touch with the artist and is hoping she will surface. �Apparently the unnamed artist made a few necklaces for her and then disappeared,� says Page. Lookd like we'll just have to make them for ourselves... Posted on January 8, 2008 by Blueprint Leo and I were strolling around Williamsburg this weekend doing some holiday shopping when we came across my new favorite shop. Mc&Co is a small new shop located at 57  North 6th Street. It�s a wonderful collection of home and personal objects. Everything has a very warm but pleasantly reserved feeling. It was so refreshing to step into a store full of beautiful things which I had never seen before. These days so many shops carry the same brands, but this store is absolute bliss. This shop was opened in September in by Corinne Gilbert, who is one of the most pleasant shop owners I�ve come across in a while. I advise all of you in the NY area to make the trip out there, I assure you will be as delighted as I am to have found it! This entry was posted on Tuesday, December 19th, 2006 at 7:09 am�at�seamsters.net Every once in a while, I walk into a shop and all hell breaks loose. I may seem calm on the outside, but secretly, smoke blows out of my ears and radiant beams glare from my eyes in excitement. This happened a few months ago when I came across Mc&Co. I was casually walking in Brooklyn just before sunset when I saw a subtle glow coming from a storefront on North 6th Street. Upon closer inspection, I could make out some silhouettes of gorgeous, outrageously composed ceramic sculptures. Corinne Gilbert, who opened the store last fall, has a curatorial eye for eccentric-yet-understated curiosities from independent designers. She does not attend trade fairs and carries only heartfelt items created by people she considers friends. She also sells bags, mirrors, lamps, and pillows under her own Mc&Co label. Anyone who has been a longtime fan of Ts� & Ts� from France will be thrilled to hear that she carries almost the entire line. You should also be sure to check out Joan Bankemper, and then stay a while. You'll find yourself revisiting items over and over again. �Posted by Shane, Senior Home Editor at blogs1.marthastewart.com
