With the growing impact of global communication, the importance of color and its influence on modern life has never been so evident. No business or individual can afford to be color unaware. Large and small corporations have chosen to work with the most reliable color service in the US to maximize their business potential.

The Color Association is the oldest color forecasting service in the US. Since 1915, the Association has been issuing color reports in elegant, fabric-swatched booklet form. The Color Association is the only forecasting service that selects its colors through a committee panel of eight to twelve industry professionals. The combined expertise of our committee members assures a thoughtful and innovative forecast, season after season.

One of the great, but often unmentioned, causes of both happiness and misery is the quality of our environment: the kind of walls, chairs, buildings and streets we’re surrounded by.

And yet a concern for architecture and design is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. The Architecture of Happiness starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be - and argues that it is architecture’s task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential.

Whereas many architects are wary of openly discussing the word beauty, the book has at its centre the large and naïve question: ‘What is a beautiful building?’ It amounts to a tour through the philosophy and psychology of architecture, which aims to change the way we think about our homes, streets and ourselves.

Podington Bear blurbs:

“If you make music yourself, you’ll probably either feel inspired by or grow jealous of Podington Bear…I gave a listen, and the songs are not bad — inventive, not-in-your-face instrumental music that reminded me a bit of early-ish Mum. -WIRED

“Looking for some music to just let your thoughts wander wherever they may go? …Simple, ambient instrumental tracks provide a beautiful background…that never comes off overbearing or distracting. The music and rate at which Podington Bear is pumping out the tunes, put’s him in contention for the ‘hardest working man in showbiz’ title.” -Muzzle Of Bees

“Here’s the kicker…this stuff is good. Very good as a matter of fact. Not much is known about this mysterious character…” -Kinky Origami

VivaTerra Live Edge Dining Table

One tree, one table. Each Live Edge Table is painstakingly hand-crafted from two joined planks of a single monkey pod tree to highlight the rippling flow and undulating patterns of its remarkable grain. We designed the table as a tribute to the magnificent beauty of sustainable wood in its natural form. A bark textured live edge follows the tree’s gently curved shape and contrasts with the satin smoothness of its lustrous surface. Using only two bolts, the table’s slab legs fit securely into the underside slots of its thick top. Each stunning, sculptural piece is utterly unique, transforms your dining area into a showplace and provides many lifetimes of use. For more information go to : www.vivaterra.com
