My Take on Chinese New Year
Eva Zeisel was a Hungarian-born master of industrial design known for her work with ceramics. Her often curvilinear forms evoke a natural pleasure and sense of purity. Zeisel was of great influence in the design world. She created the department of ceramic arts industrial design at Pratt in 1939 and taught there until 1952. In 1947 Zeisl’s china was presented in a one-woman show at MOMA. Work from throughout her career is can be seen in museum collections around the world.
From Emily Langer’s piece in The New York Times:
Eva Zeisel, who designed and produced stylish but simple lines of tableware that were credited with bringing a sense of serenity to American dinnertime, died Dec. 30 at her home in New City, N.Y.
“I search for beauty,” Mrs. Zeisel told The Washington Post in 2003. “I never wanted to do something grotesque. I never wanted to shock. I wanted my audience to be happy, to be kind.”
Our friends at KleinReid offer several of Zeisel’s designs. Visit their online store.
Happy New Year!
Here’s to starting this journey, 2012, on the right foot.
“When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.”
- Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

We made it!
Today marks week 4 of Movember, and if you’ve been following our stuggles you know – we’ve come a LONG way. Through the in-grown hairs, tickled lips, and beguiled clients we came out on top, raising much needed funds for men’s health.
There is still one day left to donate to our team! DONATE HERE
Thanks to everyone who donated!
WEEK 4
DAY 1
We wanted to take a moment to welcome the fabulous folks over at Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine. We’re excited for what’s to come.
It seems we’re at that place where we all start wondering about trimming, grooming, and whether or not the madness continues after November 30. That’s only 8 days away people! Have you donated yet?
The best part of Movember is awareness and fund raising for men’s health.
One week left to support the FOUR32C BROS! DONATE now!
There is a marked change in the studio air today. It is decidedly moustachey in here for the first time all Movember. Where there were once shadowy suggestions, there are now four unmistakable crumb-catchers. This must be what it’s like to share an office with Tom Selleck.
But I digress! The best part of Movember is awareness and fund raising for men’s health. The FOUR32C Bros need your support! DONATE now!
(One of these things is not like the other… Filling in for Mark, it’s our pinch hitter Mr. Ben Popken!)
What an inbox delight. We’ve received official word (email) that The Consumerist‘s Ben Popken has joined the FOUR32C Bros in our quest for ‘stach-hood!
Finally – someone to challenge our donation-crazed producer – and just in time. :)
Check our team’s progress at the one week mark and DONATE via our team: the FOUR32c Bros!
