Jay Franco and Sons – Hasbro Gaming
Jay Franco created an innovative and interactive approach to blankets with Hasbro’s fan-favorite board games. The idea was inspired by everyone’s desire to connect with loved ones through shared experiences. The concept: the blanket acts as the “board” with the foam game pieces packaged within the set. This item provides the customer with two things: joy and value. The customer needs a blanket, and it doubles as a giant board game! Jay Franco seeded the market successfully on Amazon prior to expanding into major retailers like Target, Walmart, Aldi, Macys, CVS, and Marmaxx. The packaged-in-a-backpack format launched exclusively on a Walmart end cap and was later featured in every Target and Aldi across the US. Overall, Jay Franco recognized the correlation between coziness and board games and pushed boundaries within home décor. Who says blankets/towels are just for lounging on? Now, families can play too!

Steelcase – Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation (Jewel Branding & Licensing)
Honoring his legacy, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation (FLWF) partnered with Steelcase to revisit, reinterpret, and reintroduce Wright’s designs rooted in his principles to provide products that enhance how we live and work today. Steelcase has a unique connection with FLW, beginning in 1939 when they produced Wright’s revolutionary design—one of the first open-plan office spaces—for the SC Johnson Administration Building in Racine, Wisconsin. Introduced in June, The Frank Lloyd Wright Racine Collection by Steelcase includes both a signature reintroduction and reinterpretation of the desk, chair, and accessories that were originally designed for that building. Featured in Architectural Digest, Fast Company, and Wallpaper, the collection has been updated to accommodate current standards, including consideration for the work-from-home era, but otherwise keeps Wright’s vision intact. Royalties from sales of licensed products support FLWF’s mission of inspiring people to live through meaningful connections to nature.
