Business time…

So a funny thing happened to me in Wellington yesterday…. Actually, funny things have been happening all week.I read an article in the NZ herald recently, of which here is a small excerpt.

“The fly-on-the wall programme, Flight of the Conchords: On Air, includes behind-the-scenes footage of the Conchords’ lives in New York. McKenzie, 32, and Jemaine Clement, 35, also speak candidly about their road to fame.
Clement reveals an unexpected lifestyle at the hub of American entertainment.

“I thought I was going to be pampered with … fruitbowls. A lazy person shouldn’t be made to work as much as I have to,” he says.

In keeping with one source of laughs on the show, the pair also reveal they are constantly quizzed about their accents when out and about in New York.”

Anyway, ever since reading it I have been trying to figure out how to contact him to give him a fruitbowl. Turns out I just needed to let him find me in a weird twist of fate.

I went to visit the lovely Michelle and the crew at Backhouse Interiors in Wellington on a whim and guess who walks into the store at the same time? I couldn’t believe my eyes.

So now Bret is a the proud owner of one of my fruitbowls!! Its such a hard case thing to happen, just thought I had to share it.

This also comes at the end of a two week stint where I met Richard Taylor from Weta at the airport when a friend from Denmark just so happens to be applying for a job there soon, and then I also bumped into Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords at the airport a few days later.

I cant wait to see who I might meet next week.

A quick update

January 18, 2009

Just a quick update to let you know that a couple more pages have been added.

Be sure to take a look at the Polycarbonate version of the Bol fruit bowl as well as the Punga lights.

Other small changes to the pages have also been made, including a handy little FAQ at the bottom.

More page updates and an online store will be coming in the near future so check back soon.

Back online..

October 9, 2008

Hello!!

And welcome back!! After an extended downtime, the website is finally back online. For those of you who have tried to view this website over the past few months you would have been greeted by a simple yet lovely construction banner. The original intention was to have it back well before now, but the realities of running a business have meant it has taken a little bit longer than intended.

The purpose of the original word press site was simply to give myself an online presence as I was starting out on my journey, however as time went by I realised there was so much more I wanted to do with it so its time to wipe the slate clean and start again.

There are still a lot of things to be done and the site will be updated regularly over the next few weeks with more information aswell as the odd rant and rave about what is happening in the wider design community.

Be sure to check back soon.
