Meet Paige Russell of Vermont & Her Fun Ceramics

I seem to be stumbling upon tons of fabulous ceramicists lately and Paige Russell of Vermont is one more.


Her wildlife series (above)consisting of white iconic graphic profile representations of a camper, a van, a monster truck and an SUV are both fun and attractive.

And her nestor votives are simple and appealing (seen below).

Funky Find of The Week: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea designed by Paolo Orsacchini

Here's the fantastic new Italian limited commemorative edition of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea designed by Paolo Orsacchini. It's printed on waterproof paper and enclosed in a clear pouch filled with real sea water. Collectors can either bust it out of its original packaging, dry it under the sun, and enjoy a classic read, or they can preserve this limited piece in all its designed glory.



Unfortunately I cannot find if it's available for purchase, so you'll simply have to marvel at the concept for now.

Move Over Rascal, Pegasus Is Here. Introducing The Porsche Of Wheelchairs.

If I ever need a wheelchair, I want the Porsche of wheelchairs!

Pegasus is an alternative solution to the current manually operated wheelchairs for paraplegic people. Unfortunately more often and not a person in a wheelchair is viewed internationally as a symbol for disability. A lot of wheelchair drivers do not feel disabled and experience similar dimensions to ordinary people. The intension of Pegasus is to break with the image and appearance of current wheelchairs. Pegasus allows an efficient movement in an upright position. A manual actuation in combination with an electric drive motor with gyroscopic sensors (segway inspired) allow the driver to maneuver in very small distance.




Unfortunately, there's limited data on this new wheelchair, but we hope it makes the jump from drawing board to market shelves quickly!
