// FLATBAR FRIDAY

It's really Wednesday, but "FLATBAR WEDNESDAY" didn't have the same ring....regardless we've got a few interns helping us out around the shop and I figured seeing as we have no money to pay them I could bribe them with fun. This is hopefully the first of many obstacles we are gonna make this summer now that I learned how to ghetto weld.

// NEW WATCH - JULY 1ST

// WATCH IN IT'S NATURAL HABITAT

It's so lovely to catch a glimpse of one of our Furni X Raised by Wolves watches lounging about in it's preferred habitat at the beach....it knows not to venture into the waves (it could die, for it is only water "resistant") and admires them from afar.

// FURNI X RITA X REFORD GARDENS

We did this awesome installation for our good friends at Rita design studio as part of the "Canada Blooms" homeshow in Toronto, March 2009. The booth is for the client "Jardin des Metis/Reford Gardens" and is to promote their annual garden/show and festival. It took us three weeks to build, used close to 100 4' x 8' sheets of wood and I was trampled by kids after the show was opened, but it was well worth it.

// KEEP A BREAST

the fine folks over at lifetime are doing a campaign with the Keep a Breast foundation called "Breast Friends 4 Life" and I'm one of the 28 invited artists. This was an honour and a serious challenge for me as I (a) do not consider myself and artist and (b) not used to working outside of a computer or woodshop. All in all I am quite happy with what I came up with...in case you didn't know the shape of the piece is an actual life cast of a female upper body, I was given it merely as a white plaster mold...mine is called "A friend in need is a friend indeed"

// FARMER WATCH

If you've checked out the product line and have a vague recollection of Skateboarding in the mid 1980's you've probably recognized some of the names of the collection (Alba, Gator,Templeton, Lee etc) The "FARMER" watch we just launched with coolhunting is a little more obscure. When we decided to do a white watch I was looking for a name to connect with the theme, remembering back to professional snowboarder Shawn Farmer's part in the 1991 snowboard movie "Critical Condition" I decided I'd bend the rules a bit and add some old school snowboarders names to the lineup. Based on the rapping that Shawn Farmer does in the video I am confident that he's the whitest boy alive, hence the tie in with the watch! Quoting the man himself "We do it my way, This is my Resume, We do it my way what did I say?". (Of Special Note: Hot-tub scene with no women in sight)

// GIVING BACK

After working on a wicked colab for our Alba EK model with awesome artist Emil Kozak we were lucky enough to help him out in bringing a design of his to life. We put together this one of a kind Table for him using silhouettes of himself and his girlfriend. It's pictured at home in his Barcelona apartment, We love it when a plan comes together.

Through a collection of written profiles, photo novellas and visual art essays, our goal is to introduce you to artists who think outside the box, sidestepping trends in favor of something classic. Part storybook anthology and part gallery space, this is a magazine that is as much about quality writing as it is about strong design. Like a favorite corduroy blazer, this is a magazine that simply never goes out of style." We're seriously honored to be part of the issue.

We plan to launch this option full on when we show the new line at this years IDS in Toronto (more on that at a later date) The "branding" option is like those stickers the dealer puts on your car when you buy it from them, only way cooler!

// CUSTOMIZED GATOR SE

All I am saying is that I have a sweet "Country and Western" punch set in my possession and I know how to use it..... We are going to be adding the option to add your initials to the back of your clock, bling bling! Stay tuned to the online store for new pics and the "Customize" option in the new year....

(on a side note, the pic they ran is of the McGill flip clock, it's since been dropped from our lineup for a couple reasons.....please don't e-mail us trying to get one, sorry for any confusion, the difference between article submission dates and publication dates seem to be years apart.....)

// FURNI AND "CANADIAN INTERIORS"

After a month of rumours and mentions It's actually true, we are featured in the latest issue of Canadian Interiors as one of the top nine Quebec Designers.....Apart from the small typo in the article that states that the GatorSE is made from "birch" and not "beech" like it should have said, and the fact that there's supposed to be a caption that states the pictured SE is a special "prototype" made from Murado....We are super stoked!!!!
