5 Favorites: Bunnies for the Design-Minded


By Justine Hand     2 hours ago

Rainbows and unicorns are things of my past, but somehow I never outgrew my affection for bunnies. Floppy ears and fluffy tails, I figured, were my own particular design Achilles heel—but then I discovered I'm far from alone. For lots of sophisticates, designers included, the love of rabbit is a life-long affair.



Above: By Finnish designer Ina Herkert, Kani the Wooden Rabbit is hand carved from birch. Available at NAMA for £32.
 


Above: From one of our favorite shops, New Zealand (and online) boutique Father Rabbit, a bunny duvet. The bed cover is currently sold out, but the same floppy-eared fellow is available as a Bunny Framed Print; $99 AUD.



Above: The British have never been bashful about their love of bunnies. By London designer Jo Robinson (who grew up on a farm), the Bouncing Bunny Tea Towel is £9. It's available from her company, HAM, which "seeks to add a serious edge to its playful subject matter." The tea towel and other HAM designs featuring spunky rabbits are also offered as prints, mugs, and notecards; go to HAM for details.
 


(Saint's note--Ptarmy might like the above one, seeing that he can wipe his feet on a rabbit.)

Above: Ed Annink's Droog Hare Mat, made of coir, is is quickly becoming a design icon. It's available at Allmodern for $189.75.

Interested in the rest?  Everybody loves bunnies! . . . well, maybe not Ptarmy . . . :fuelfire:

In Ptarmy's defense, I typed in the words 'ptarmigan designs' on Bing, and it came up with 88,300 results. O-)


"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Or, at least, they should...
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840

I'm beginning to think Ptarmigan is starting to go soft on bunnies here lately....

How come Yahoo has not promoted ptarmigan designs? Oh yeah, the media is controlled by bunnies like the banking system and government.
