Trees Say "Thank You." Or Something.

Instead of telling people how much we appreciated customers buying the Eco-Series, we thought it was much more powerful coming from those that benefited the most. The trees themselves.

How did we get trees from a forest to say thank you? We collaborated with renowned UK artist Tim Knowles, we journeyed into the Black Down Forest, South West of London and built a series of intricate apparatus and systems that allowed trees to draw our thank yous.

 
I'm not sure about the success of this "art," but I appreciate the sentimentality of the endeavor.

Look at the Peeps huskies!  The Peeps reindeer!  I'm pretty sure those are marshmallow flukes flashing back there in the corner...  Peep artist Nina Cois, you are a genius!

Art Film

This has everything:  dance!  costumes!  underwater! underwater puppetry!

The film is about 10 minutes long and deserves your full attention, so if you're in the middle of your day perhaps you'd like to come back when you're settled in after dinner.
