Tribewanted: Vorovoro

Our limited edition of Baby Zaishus, made with the help of many people on the island during the month of April, have just been posted for sale on the Reform School website and in-store in Los Angeles, as we’re featured in the Student of the Month section:

This project required a massive amount of coordination. And I owe many thanks to Helen and Matt at Zaishu, Billie and Tootie at Reform School, Elana for her facilitation of the silk-screens, and everyone who got covered in paint while it came together!!

There will be a blog post up soon with more background on the process:

In the meantime, my photo slideshow is available with images from throughout the production (you may need to copy and paste the link into your browser):

I think the images speak more loudly than my words, though I’m happy to provide more details if anyone is curious. Keep in mind, there are only 40 available for sale, and this is about to hit the design community blogs…I’ll add links as they become available. And I’m so happy to have been able to involve TribeWanted in something like this.

Vinaka vakalevu to everyone!!
