JOOLZ POSITIVE STUDIO & GRAY LABEL

We are very proud to announce our presence at the first Joolz Positive Studio.

Coming Saturday a whole month of inspiring, healthy and fun activities for kids and (future) parents kicks off at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. This is the place to visit this summer: start a sunny morning with baby-yoga, share your experiences at the Friends of the Brand Sessions, get a free fun echo (with photograph to take home), check out the new Joolz Positive Design buggy’s and come visit us, while we expose our Gray Label collection and introduce our 2 new winter colors.

Joolz Positive Design is famous for their buggy design. They focus on ergonomic comfort, based on the human body of both the parent and the baby, at the time of pregnancy but also in the first few years after birth. They bring a range of products to optimize the use of the buggy, but they also contribute to a healthy, happy and convenience lifestyle by organizing inspiring events, such as the Joolz Positive Studio. We would love to see you there!

The Joolz Positive Studio will take place from the 17th of August till the 13th of September 2013 in the area called “Zuiveringshal” as part of the Westergasfabriek, every day from 10:00 am till 18:00 pm.

You can check the full program and sign up for the activities via www.my-joolz.nl. Entrance and participation in activities are free of charge.

Address: Joolz Positive Studio, Westergasfabriek, Pazzanistraat 41, (between Pacific Park en de Espressofabriek), 1014 DB Amsterdam.

NANA DITZEL

We love this design classic. Originally produced of Oregon pine, the highchair by Nanna Ditzel comes in two primary designs. One version features a wipeable vinyl seat with a leather T-strap, making it suitable for older babies and toddlers. The solid wood version has no T-strap, making it more appropriate as a booster-style seat for older toddlers and smaller preschoolers. So simple, so beautiful, love it!

BIRD CALLS

In a small workshop in France, these charming, accurate bird calls are produced by hand. Each has taken many years to develop, and is overseen by François Morel, a gentleman that has been making bird calls since he was a child, growing up in the mountains of Southern France.

Aside from communication tools of the oiseaux variety, the calls are quite beautiful; made from such materials as beech, maple, leather, and brass, they are a fine example of craft with integrity.

Though these calls are toys, of sorts, they’re not intended for children, nor for hunters or the disturbance of nesting birds, as the company responsible for the calls, Quelle est Belle, clearly states on their website: “We retain the right to refuse to supply people who cannot fully guarantee their respect for nature,” and, inside the bird call packaging is a small note: “We have put our whole heart into the conception of our nature toys and we hope that those who handle them will use them to good intent.”

Quelle est Belle bird calls are available internationally via their website.

FLYING EYE BOOKS

 Flying Eye Books from James D Wilson on Vimeo.

This is a wonderful little animated short for “Flying Eye Books”. It features the illustrations of Ben Newman animated by Jambonbon (James D Wilson). I love this. The piece has a great rhythm to it, and the simple illustrations lend themselves so well to the animation shown here. Now here is something to think about; look at the walk cycles for each character, and count the number of characters. Once again, what look so simple is rather complex and a bit involved. Have a lovely weekend!
