Noel Mercado is an artist.
Noel repurposes found objects giving it new life, more life. In order to have and to hold for many more generations to come.
I first met Noel back in Philly with friend Zak Parsons from Four Finger Press and Kyle of Smalldosesdaily and vibed on streetwear, photography, and music.
Then we caught up in Brooklyn. Always a good time when we ran into each other at a club and was talking about Contax pics.
Fastforward years later, I spent the day in two of my not so secret favorite neighborhoods, the West Village and SoHo pretending that I’m someone I’m not but I ain’t shit and I turned to my left and I see my favorite furniture company, USM Modular Furniture collaborated with a name I definitely know. I had to tell someone immediately and friend Ryan Gendron was right behind me and I broke the news. Went inside, made a TikTok and bought Noel’s whole collection straight cash.
Now my house is looking like a mansion, I told you I got it like that.
No I don’t got it like that but I do love that me and Noel also bond on USM and Contax Cameras. If you got that, the rest will follow.
Please welcome Noel Mercado to Wear Many Hats.
