A Seattle Showcase for Local Design Charlie Schuck, a photographer, opened Object in Seattle last year after hosting pop-up stores in his studio loft to sell the work of local designers. "My idea was to create a Northwest-centered design store without overtly saying, "This is the Northwest," " Mr. Schuck, 34, explained. The 1,900-square-foot shop in Belltown carries furniture, lighting, decorative accessories and some fashion, much of it designed in the area. While the ground floor, below, is fairly sparse, the upstairs level, to open this spring, will have an "Edwardian-Victorian parlor vibe," he said, with found objects and furniture and perhaps a few Japanese items. Prices range from $4 for a Utility Card by Grain Design to $4,695 for a frame lighting cluster by Iacoli & McAllister. Brass and powder-coated steel Hex weights by Iacoli & McAllister are $26 to $68 each. Open Thursday through Saturday, 1 to 7 p.m., at 2316 Second Avenue, Seattle.
