Scrimshaw rings
Seven Deadly Sins
wooly mammoth ivory


manufacturer:
Jessica Kagan Cushman, USA

designer:
Jessica Kagan Cushman
design year:
2008

notes:
Scrimshaw is a method of painstakingly etching or carving ivory or bone. The craft was practiced for centuries by the Inuit and other Native North American groups along the northwest coast. It was adopted by the Yankee whalemen of the early 1800's. Two- to five-year voyages quickly became monotonous, so the whalemen turned to working with baleen, whale teeth, and jawbones, all of which were in abundant supply. Common subjects included whaling scenes, ships, women, and scenes copied from magazines of the day.

materials:
hand-etched fossilized wooly Mammoth ivory

price:
$750

Bell
alarm clock
fire bell red


manufacturer:
IDEA International, Japan

designer:
Industrial Facility
design year:
2010

notes:
Bell is a new format for the morning alarm clock that moves the bell component to the back, and uses it as part of its body. This not only saves on components and simplifies the appearance, but also allows for a much louder ring. Louder than a mobile phone, a desk clock or a watch. As loud as a fire bell. Features Snooze button and LED illumination.

materials:
ABS; metal

dimensions:
3.75" x 2.5" x 4"

price:
$70

Cathy McClure, USA

designer:
Cathy McClure
design year:
2010
