10!! ⚡️We celebrated craft, connection, and ten uncommon years!

So many customers, artists, neighbors and fans came to celebrate creative placemaking. Noticing the impact of supporting emerging and independent artists and designers. And the stories they tell. And the community that builds. Our hearts are so full! 💛

We are driven by the belief that nourishing community cultivates global well-being; and when we support artists, our world is infinitely more beautiful. Our small business is possible because of you! Thank you for honoring the craft of making art and objects of appreciation.

Design isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. Thank you for giving us / Poet and/the Bench the juice to do what we love, to bring you things that you’ll love–for yourself. And others. —More than 50 artists… wow, how we’ve grown!

We fundamentally enjoy creating community and relationships with you.
You're the best!

Excited for what’s ahead… and that we can create together.

Listen to our latest DJ collaboration Emerge : Awaken with San Diego-based DJ Macoe Swett, known fondly as Macoe.

"This collection of songs dips into the heartache of the past year, but also the beauty. We learned a lot about the world, but perhaps even more about ourselves. I tend to choose songs based on their individual merits rather than their genre, and this mix is no different, so dive into this eclectic collection of ballads and beats and I'll meet you on the other side." ~ Macoe

Escape! Listen to our first mixtape! Link in bio. Born out of a love for music to transport you, this collaboration between us + Marlon Regis aka gives birth to the theme, HOME/DAY. The playlist carries you through from sunrise to sunset.
We love how the Caribbean rhythms of Marlon's heritage combine with his curated mix of soulful, upbeat vibes to create a soundtrack to your everyday. A daytime mix for your working-from-home backdrops, chilling with your pod, windows down day trips and road trip good vibes.  
We chose Home as our first theme—the “sense of place” that comes from identity—personal, cultural and place identity we prescribe to of a real or imagined state of harmony and centeredness.
Author, director and human rights activist Susan Sontag wrote in her journal at age 14, “Music is at once the most wonderful, the most alive of all the arts — it is the most abstract, the most perfect, the most pure — and the most sensual. I listen with my body and it is my body that aches in response to the passion and pathos embodied in this music.”
For the love of a good beat, Enjoy!
We are showcasing Marlon's music curation talents as a free streaming, non-commercial gift of good vibes.
