NEW! The Balafon Chair
This week we launched our new Balafon Chairs, inspired by the form and construction of the West African Balafon (xylophone).
For this product we developed system where a single seat slat is cut to include a clip on the base of each slat. The slats clip onto a metal frame, and when placed next to one another create a surface for sitting.
There are 4 slats available, which means you can customise the seat according to your needs.
Hope you like it!

2 new Seats

PERFUME
I’m really excited about a new project I’m embarking on!
We’ve recently started working with a local perfumer on a range of scented candles for the store. You can imagine that the process of designing a scent isn’t a simple one. As I’m beginning to learn, you can’t just bang a couple of essences together and hope for the best.
The really exciting part of the process for me, is that although you’re trying to create an appealing smell by carefully considering the top, middle and base notes, what you’re essentially doing is writing a story you hope the user can identify.
We hope to launch the candle in about a months time. Until then I can’t give too much away, other than to say, that you can expect a very rich and masculine scent…
Watch this space!
Cheers

NAPKINATION
Our friends at Coord, have started a project where they ask various people to create a piece …actually let them describe it.
“COORD has ‘commissioned’ a number of our creative friends to indulge in a spot of napkin doodling. We call the series (and you’ve got to love this title): ‘NAPKINATION-DESIGNA-DOODLE’.”
Have a look at our contribution…The idea was to create a kind of Rorschach test…what do you see? :)
cheers

What is the point of having a blog if one can’t blatantly promote your your sister’s work.
