Free!


And durable? and good for the environment? Am I going crazy?!?! Once again, I would like to boast about our FLOR product. These eco friendly carpet "tiles" are not only good looking, but incredibly durable. One of our Senior Design consultants, Christine Cellucci (check out her very own blog, The Creative Jig) just installed some in her kitchen and gives us the dish. Convinced? Good, because right now we are offering FREE shipping on these products!

Also, don't forget about the JAZZY GRAND OPENING OF PEMBROKE tomorrow!

Big Happenings in Alewife

Here come some more developments to make you love our Cambridge location even more!



Our Alewife store is located right near the Fresh Pond rotary, a perfect stop over on Route 2 to or from the city. We share our little corner of the universe with some great stores with a loyal Boston following, Cheddar's, D&D and Newbury Comics. Now, with some new developments, we are making some additions to our plaza including a Trader Joe's (a personal favorite) and a more of your favorite shops and conveniences. Check out more about these developments on boston.com. We asked what Cambridge store manager Heather Ryan how this was effecting our daily grind, and she says "Circle Furniture has been thriving is this location for over a decade now. We are excited to see that some new life will be coming to our plaza when the building is finished. There should be ample parking for everyone to come enjoy the great shops. Most importantly there are some awesome new food choices including Trader Joe’s and Chipotle. It's all about the food for us here at Circle!"
Happy eating and shopping!

Inspiration: Swapping Ideas Across Borders

I got to chatting with fresh, young, hip Circle up and coming team member Jessica Tubman about her travels in South America. Jessica is currently enrolled in business school and was able to take advantage of a unique opportunity to travel to Brazil on a school project. She reports on what she saw and liked, the food the culture, and a great encounter with Circle Furniture's own product, Charleston Forge Chairs! Different cultures can offer up many sources of inspiration for the design world and beyond.



Jess: "As part of a global entrepreneurship project at MIT Sloan, I traveled with a team to Campinas Brazil, a city outside of Sao Paulo. We consulted for an IT outsourcing company, Daitan Labs, working for 3 months from MIT in Cambridge and then for 3 weeks on location in Brazil at the company's HQ. While in Brazil our analysis included interviews with company executives and local Brazilian Venture Capitalists. In addition to just work, we ate a lot of really good Brazilian bbq (steak!) and toured both Sao Paulo and Rio."

Still Jazzed about the Regatta Bar




For the second year in a row the Circle Team helped bring the party to opening night at the Regatta Bar Jazz fest. Richie Havens played a killer show and, if I must say so myself, the furnishings of this bar are Top Notch!

The Regatta Bar is located in the Charles Hotel in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge. In addition to their yearly Jazz Fest they have live music about five nights a week! Get cozy in those couches with a nice cocktail and great music. Check out their website for a whole list of upcoming shows and events.
