DEMDACO Announces Partnership with Artist Alise Sheehan for Wishnest Gift & Jewelry Collection

DEMDACO®, the Leawood, Kansas-based design firm specializing in gift and home décor products, is pleased to announce a new partnership with artist Alise Sheehan to distribute the Wishnest™ line of gifts and jewelry.

DEMDACO is dedicated to sharing products that are innovative, inspiring and of exceptional quality. They believe in products that make an emotional connection with the person who purchases it or with the recipient of the thoughtful gift.

The Wishnest line of inspirational gifts is a premier addition to the Studio™ by DEMDACO brand, celebrating the philosophies shared by DEMDACO and artist Alise Sheehan.

“The partnership between Alise and DEMDACO is a wonderful opportunity,” says Peter Friedmann, Vice President of Product Development for DEMDACO. “Many of us have been fans of the Wishnest line for quite some time. We believe it’s a great alignment between our brands. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration as we build upon this strong retailing line. Wishnest is a perfect example of timeless gift solutions that speak to friendship and family.”

“I am absolutely thrilled about my collaboration with DEMDACO, says Alise Sheehan. It is exactly what I have been wishing for. It allows me to focus on designing beautiful products and expanding the inspiring messages of the Wishnest brand. This is my passion.”

Sheehan imagines and creates the Wishnest line of personable gifts, house blessings, tabletop accents and jewelry as reminders to all to dream big and wish well and often for ourselves, our loved ones and for the world. The naturally inspired, organically styled designs are hand sculpted, then cast in lead-free pewter and combined with various materials including semi-precious stones.

Wishnest by Alise Sheehan is currently available for purchase by retailers and can be previewed in DEMDACO showrooms in Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Denver.
