All The Days Ordained

Sasha Pivovarova for Vogue Paris December 2007

I saw a couple of replicas of these in a Newmarket furniture store the other day, and they were so amazing I made note of the original designers and just looked it up now.

‘During the early 1940s Charles and Ray Eames developed a successful technique for moulding plywood into three-dimensional shapes, which led to the creation of a variety of furnishings and sculptures. The Plywood Elephant, in particular, has attained legendary status among collectors. Designed in 1945, this piece requires complex fabrication methods. Only two prototypes were produced, both of which were subsequently displayed in an exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Art. Today only one known model remains in the possession of the Eames Family.’

Although the design never made it into mass production during the 1940’s, The Eames elephant is now produced in plastic by Vitra.

Sealord Tuna is Killing Marine-Life - Greenpeace

‘A helicopter pilot speaks out about his experiences onboard a number of purse seine tuna fishing vessels operating in the Pacific. His gruesome footage shows how the use of Fish Aggregation Devices is resulting in the bycatch of all sorts of marine life and contributes to the depletion of tuna stocks. Greenpeace is campaigning for more sustainable and less destructive tuna fisheries in the Pacific Ocean.’

I’m not much of an animal person, or an activist, but this is just so terrible and disgusting, everything must be done to end this horror. Please help take action against Sealord’s brutal treatment of marine-life here: http://www.greenpeace.org/new-zealand/en/take-action/Take-action-online/Message-to-Sealord/ With a few clicks you can help save the dolphins and other cute fishies!

I’m not much of an animal person, but if I ever were to get a pet, I’d get a baby wolf, they are such beautiful creatures.
