The wooden cases are hand woven and printed with beautiful hand drawn illustrations: 'the life of a tuna fish', 'the life of a turtle' and 'the life of a tree', raising the environmental implications of over farming and deforestation. The inside and the cover is painted in a striking fluorescent orange, blue or pink. I want one.

    When we first saw his name close to that of Philippe Starck we googled, with no luck.

But shortly after all this revealed to be a product of our unquiet imagination: he is for real, thank goodness.
