9000things is a colorful eco-boutique and design studio based in Boston, MA. We have a tiny (174 sq ft) brick & mortar in Union Square, Somerville that we use as a studio and workspace with retail in the front. We draw inspiration from found objects, travel, textiles and color. Our product range stretches from art to home goods to jewelry. We really like to use laser cutters. Currently we’re focused on expanding our place-based line of prints and originals because we found that it resonates with customers.
