In honor of labor day weekend, supposedly your last chance of the summer to wear white and to grill outdoors, I have reprised an older post that features over 25 beautifully designed modern outdoor grills by individuals like Piet Hein Eek and Peter Maly and companies like Fuego and Kalamazoo grills. Definitely worth reading if you never saw it, or looking at again- just to drool.
The Pininfarina Research Centre has created a new children’s rocking horse for Riva 1920 of Italy. The object derives from a single piece of cedar wood sculpted into a simple graceful form, enriched by a leather-covered handle.
A little rocking horse made completely of solid wood, with neither stains, finishes nor toxic glues, only natural cedar. An original design thought up by the Pininfarina Research Centre and applied to an object of play in all its simplicity.
Available in large or small sizes: L. 159 - P. 61,5 - H. 87,2 cm - Big L. 79,5 - P. 34,2 - H. 39,4 cm - Small
above: Cancer for College's Will Ferrell Sunscreens are 100% charitable products.
Will Ferrell has come out with a line of three various sunscreens - each with equally hilarious names and labels; Sexy Hot Tan, Forbidden Fruit and Sun Stroke. But the products are no joke. 100% of the net proceeds benefit the Cancer for College scholarship fund. We could use more humor like this in our world.
Note: Since this original post, the products and labels have changed slightly- although still hilarious. Below are the newer items and packaging:
UVA/UVB broad spectrum protection. Light sport formula doesn’t leave a greasy residue. Designed for an active lifestyle. Aloe and Vitamin E enriched and hypoallergenic.
They are also sponsoring a commercial contest for the charitable products.
To see some of the entries so far,or to learn more about the contest, go here. This is not the first charitable campaign to promote the awareness of skin cancer.
Chances are you are not yet familiar with Greek fashion designer Mary Katrantzou. But you will be. Her third collection, a Ready-To-Wear line for Autumn and Winter 2009/10 is both unique and beautiful and sure to get her lots of attention.
