Fredericks & Mae is the brain-child ofGabriel Fredericks Cohen and Jolie Mae Signorile. Having met through a shared admiration of materials, the two started their first studio in 2007 with an intention to design giftable objects rooted in whimsy, curiosity, and love. As supporters of the ritualistic nature of things, their pieces fall in between functional and ceremonial artifacts that have the ability to tell stories. Based in Brooklyn, they opened their brick-and-mortar storefront in 2018, where you can browse their collection as well as rotating exhibits by local artists.
