wee see
Part art installation, part pacifier, Wee See is a collection of black-and-white animations built from basic shapes to delight both child and parent. As vision develops slowly over the first months of life, Wee See provides surfaces of bold, well-defined artwork to engage your baby’s curious mind and bring the screen to vibrant life.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on these brand-new DVD’s and I am *impressed*. The Wee See videos are a truly artful and minimalist experience. Rolyn Barthelman and his team did an amazing job. The site, the packaging and the two videos are designed with *such* attention to detail. Hat tip!
This is a fantastic gift for (designy) new parents! Here’s a little peek at collection number 1:
Custom Letter Pillow
Laura makes custom crocheted Pillows. They are approximately 15 inches tall and awesome. Ella’s head would explode if she had a red E. Just yesterday, she peeked her head out of her room (at bedtime) and said: “Mom, I need an E!” She ran into the living room and looked for an E in a puzzle we have.
Don’t you sometimes feel like you need an “E” or maybe an “M”?
ICFF 09 | Donna Wilson
Another personal ICFF Highlight was to discover Donna Wilson’s playful creations, like the Cyril Squirrel.
We all need a Rainy Day Scarf.
Buclo Foam Cloud
I am completely smitten with Buclo’s Foam Clouds. Yes, please!
Neutraface Slab Blocks
Houseindustries developed this beautiful, compact set of 12 Neutraface Slab alphabet blocks that will transmit subliminal stylistic messages to both young impressionable minds or the odd dolt whose narrow view of typography is defined by a partial screening of the Helvetica movie.
Madsen Bikes
I am literally gasping for air! I *love* these MADSEN Cargo Bikes. Ella’s head would explode if I’d show up with one of these!
(thank you billy!)
Le Sens Propre

Puzzlehead
I just got my hand on James Yang’s Children’s Book called Puzzlehead.The book takes you on the journey of Puzzlehead looking far and wide for a spot that he fits in. He is eventually led to conclusion that his perfect place is wherever he can be with his friends. I think we might have a new favorite at casa swissmiss.
