Vynil Surfaces
Every now and again one stumbles on a ingenious product. This does not happen to often though.
When I saw the concept of Vynil Surfaces for the first time I immediately knew that this is an ingenious product.
Vynil, an alternative to wallpaper", literally passes into the hands of the end users, who, invited to transform their interiors into an area where they can express themselves, become the creators of their own setting.
Thanks to Vynil, the "wall space" becomes the field for a game of composition and narration into which a lot of effort and inventiveness can be put. Beyond its practical interest (no need for paste or a papering table), the Vynil collection makes it possible to think again about the place and the role of ornaments and decoration in our interiors.
We sell them in our shop now and I had the opportunity to "install" several - they really look as great as they do on the picture. If you have very craggy walls they might not stick enough. And don't think they leave no marks once you take them away, they are like wallpaper and probably you have to repaint the wall after taking a vynil of.
Harry Whittier Frees
Some of his books have recently been published again as paperbacks by the B.Shackman & Company. Almost a century old the adventures of Fluff, Puff & Arganon are still as surprising and appealing as ever.


Harry Whittier Frees
Once widely known throughout the US for his wonderfully cute photographs of animals, Frees began his career taking pictures for novelty postcards. By 1905 he was adding props and clothes to the shots to give the animals a more human image. His mother made most of the outfits which were designed to hold the animals in what can only be described as 'unnatural poses'. In all his books, though, Frees reassured his readers that these fantastic images were made possible |only by patient unfailing kindness on the part of the photographer at all times.
