Speaking of 1% For the Planet...
The good folks @ Apartment Therapy took note of some well designed home brands that are a part of the 1% For The Planet alliance.
Besides making a note about Maku, they also highlighted the Modern Twist and Bambu. We're in good company for sure.
More recent PR coverage to be posted in the next few weeks, but for now, I think we're all focusing on the big event @ Grounded this week.

1% for the Planet What an amazing group of companies and brands! It's no secret that I have long been a supporter of educated and proper environmental causes. Growing up in a small ski town in Colorado, working in the action sports industry, and most importantly enjoying the surf, snow, mountains, and beaches the world has to offer we need to make sure we take care of planet's resources. I couldn't under good conscious start a company that didn't somehow give back to not only the people surrounding our production facilities but to the environment as well. Global Stewardship is each of our responsibilities and I hope more and more companies will continue to join and support 1% For the Planet
It's a big commitment to give 1% of your total sales to charity, but well worth it in my humble opinion...
OK, I'll get off my soapbox now.... :)

WOW!!!
It's April 15th and it's been almost 4 months since I made a post.... Where o where has the time gone??? I gotta tell you as a small business owner (Ok start up since we have yet to deliver any product) the road is filled with ups and downs.
Thankfully though we have mostly had the ups (So far...) Where to start. Well lets see production is going and our first container will be delivered this week!!! The production photos that Jeff and crew would send us to stay updated look amazing and I can't wait to see the finished products sitting in my courtyard, backyard, and of course our warehouse :) Thats right we have a warehouse now instead of the alternative of storing everything in my garage.
The website is up and going (Thanks Josh and sorry for keeping you up working so late!) The site looks amazing and there is no way we could have done any of this with out the amazing help of the Vapor Studios crew and Ignacio Tecnological himself.
PR PR PR, lots of good PR happening, some really cool design blogs are picking up on the furniture and we are starting to see some good support from the print media as well. We'll be sure to post each time we get some cool PR.
I'm gonna make it a better point to give more updates and stuff on our blog. There just never seems to be enough time in the day lately to get everything done and one of these days we are going to have to hire some people to help run this company. I can't wait until that point!!! Until then, I am sure there will be plenty more 18hr plus days. Bet hey what's life if you don't work for it right...?
By the way, the waves were really good last week and it's good to be the boss and be able to go for a paddle with out having to be tied to a time clock or have to sit in some corporate meeting type BS!
