These plant-based taper candles are made by a 100+ year old Japanese family company whose origin lies in the production of candles for Buddhist temples. Made from 100% rice wax, they burn cleaner and brighter than paraffin, beeswax, and soy wax candles. They’re further distinguished by their extremely long burn times: the Tapers burn for 9 hours (each). The soft ivory color is both natural and pleasing to the eye.

Key works by today's leading female architects, with reflections on their craft and design ethos. Despite the number of women who have shaped the discipline, female architects still frequently struggle to receive the recognition their work deserves. This volume serves as a manifesto for the great achievements of contemporary female architects the world over, paying tribute to their experiences as artists and designers as well as women in a male-dominated field. Women in Architecture profiles 36 architects working today, detailing their personal creative philosophies through examples of their projects. In addition to its examination of the current state of architecture, this volume also explores works by a number of women who served as pioneering figures of the craft, seeking to expose and eventually dismantle the structural discrimination against women architects both inside and outside of the field.

Every cat owner knows the frustration of shelling out a considerable amount of money for a cat tree or scratching post only to find that their feline family member prefers to sleep in the box the item came in. Some lucky cat owners also know the unexpected delight that comes from seeing cats use the accessories made just for them, the strange satisfaction of catching their kitty relaxing on their kitty-sized furniture. Against stylish pastel backdrops, Swiss photographer Pascale Weber poses her feline subjects on a variety of different cat-specific pieces, lounging on the roof of a fuzzy ice cream truck and balancing atop a three-pronged scratching post that resembles a cactus. Her photography series captures the undeniable charm of cats on their best behavior while also providing a tongue-in-check echo of more serious forms of design. The artfulness of each cat tree mirrors the contemporary aesthetic trends of human-sized architecture and sculpture: multifaceted, functional and ultimately representative of those who utilize such structures.

In Knots: That Simply Your Life, writer Miki Anagrius shows how a basic understanding of knots is a useful, fun, and attractive tool not just in boating, but in everyday life. Through beautifully shot illustrations you’ll learn how to use knots to store, organize, and link various objects, as well as hang and carry items. The possibilities are endless: tie a shoelace knot that never loosens but is easy to undo; adjust the height of lamps and flowerpots suspended from the ceiling; bunch up newspapers bound for the recycling; bind your roast and herbs in the kitchen; suspend your bicycle from the ceiling; restrain overly eager pets. With a dose of competence at knots, many problems can be solved in an attractive and practical manner. This book also provides information on the different types of rope, knots, and string, how to stop bits of rope from fraying, and how to connect different lengths of rope and make practical loops.

Through no fault of his own, John Lautner's contributions to Modern architecture have been widely recognized only in the last ten or fifteen years. Even so, he still remains an enigma for some critics. We still have more to learn and understand about how he expanded the boundaries of Modern architecture.
After years of research, Tycho Saariste and Jan-Richard Kikkert's book adds an invaluable resource for our understanding of Lautner. This book contains a description of the research and the travels to all built Lautner houses. It also contains a description of these houses and photographs the authors made during their visits. With an introduction by American architecture expert Alan Hess.

Lautner A-z: An Exploration Of The Complete Built Work

We partnered with our friends at Portland's Beckel Canvas Products to create this reusable lunch bag that combines sustainability with classic old-school style. The origin of the word “Eena” is a Chinook term that means “The beaver who builds the best lodge.” For over 40 years, Beckel Canvas has taken this motto to heart, creating canvas tents for outdoor enthusiasts. The same commitment goes into each bag, which is locally crafted of 20 oz. cotton canvas, with nylon strap roll-up and metal snap enclosure, nylon top hand strap, and stitched label. A tasty upgrade from brown paper bags, it's suitable for kids and adults alike.

Native to Japan, hinoki cypress wood is valued for its pleasing, lemony fresh scent and natural anti-bacterial properties. Used to construct this tissue box, the pale wood creates a welcome alternative to paper tissue boxes with busy graphic treatments. The wood used for the box is responsibly harvested from the thinning of managed natural forests in Japan. The subtle dark wood accents at the corners are made of black walnut and lend a polished, tailored appearance. The box its directly over most standard paper tissue boxes, lending a natural, spa-like appeal to the bathroom.
