The Estate of Things

The Alexander Girard collection is available at Urban Outfitters and we have some serious love for the Multiform Quilt.

Hello lovely colors…

We are getting some traffic for this news because of our previous Christopher Bettig post. If you want to know more about Alexander Girard for Urban Outfitters see the orignal post at Oh Joy!

I haven’t seen any other images besides the one that Oh Joy has up. I suppose we will have to wait for more sneak peeks or until the merchandise is out in July. Here are some pillows from a collection he did for Modern Seed a couple years ago.

Urban Outfitters has recently released some pillows and dinnerware designed by French born artist Christopher Bettig. Any time you put green and aqua together, I’m sold. So you can imagine my immediate excitement about the bird pillow (shown below).

Bettig created the design studio, The Mountain Label.  The website is worth a visit for access to the online shop, to learn more about Chris’ work and to visit his blog. Chris has a diverse group of clientele including but not limited to, Nike, Arden B., Converse, Analogue Books and Four x Four Gallery.

Some of the pieces created for Urban Outfitters

Some of Chris’ paintings

Collage work (the birds are my personal favorite)

 A zine spread that Chris did for Analogue Books in 2008. I admit that I am not as well informed about art as I should be but this image has a real iconic quality and it reminds a bit of Alexander Girard.
