About Society6
Society6 is an online shop that sells work by independent artists printed on art prints, framed and canvas wall art, tapestries, throw pillows, duvet covers, mugs, phone cases and other home and lifestyle products. Everything is made to order, so artists don't hold stock or ship anything; Society6 prints and sends each item and pays artists for sales of their designs. It leans toward home decor and wall art more than T-shirts, which sets it apart from Redbubble and TeePublic. Artists now apply to join rather than signing up freely, and the site curates which designs it promotes. For shoppers it works like a regular online store with regular sales, and it also runs wholesale and trade programmes for businesses and interior designers. Society6 is based in Englewood, Colorado. It suits artists who want their work on home goods without running a store, and shoppers looking for original decor.
Best for: Artists wanting their designs on wall art and home decor, and shoppers buying original decor.
