hope birds

the italian design company bosa specializes in ceramics, from lamps to table top accessories to jewelry. all of it hand made, and utilizing ancient techniques and exquisite materials & precious metals such as gold, platinum and copper. but bosa designer jaime hayon's "hope birds" stopped me today...

they are table top sculptures symbolizing the approach of optimism and what lies ahead. "the hope bird stands proud and straight with a dynamic watch-out position toward the horizon, inviting us to reflect on the importance of staying positive to what the future may bring." pretty darn creative. i think that we could all use a little hope bird in our lives, every once in a while. enjoy!
