How a signature pattern came to life at Harvest on Main
If you’ve walked past the windows at Harvest on Main — or unwrapped a made-to-order sandwich — you’ve already encountered Claire Durr’s work.
The new signature Second Harvest pattern, now featured on the market’s exterior window clings, deli paper, and more, was Claire’s first-ever commissioned design. Though she’s spent years working in digital drawing software and sharing prints through her art collective, Ink Lemonade, this project marked something new: creating artwork meant to live in a physical space.
Claire is a Stage Manager by training, and she sees a throughline between that work and her visual art. “In theater, if you do your job well, no one notices,” she says. “I feel like that mindset is similar in visual work. There’s a lot of looking at balance on the page, refining scale, spacing — moving something a sixteenth of an inch makes a difference that hopefully no one else ever notices.”
For someone used to the collective rhythm of theater, the collaborative nature of the commission also felt familiar. “It gave me the box of the sandbox to play in,” Claire says, of working with the Second Harvest team. “That’s really fun for an artist, to say ‘these are the walls to play in — go crazy.’”
What felt new and different about this project was scale. “I’m used to prints that are at most 8.5 by 11,” she says. “This not only needed to read on a macro level, but also be rewarding when you get up close, too.” The design had to function across windows, paper, and more — consistent, adaptable, and durable.
As she began drawing, Claire kept coming back to place. “Second Harvest is so rooted in the local and I wanted it to feel like that,” Claire says. Woven into the pattern are elements of Western Pennsylvania flora — oak leaves, blueberries, and blackberries like the ones she used to pick in her backyard as a child. The repeating forms, she explains, lend a sense of interconnectedness — small pieces forming something larger together.
To Claire, the details aren’t incidental — they’re revealing.
When care is visible in something as simple as window clings or deli paper, Claire believes it communicates something quietly but clearly. “It shows that this space and mission and neighbors matter,” she says — and speaks to the thoughtfulness behind everything else.
At Harvest on Main, that kind of care is woven throughout.
