‘German artist Bartholomäus Traubeck recently debuted a record-player he developed which is capable of digitally reading tree-slices and translating them into surprisingly moving piano music. Tree-rings, of course, considered to be annual records of a tree’s growth rate — which in turn offer clues to the hardships and fruitful periods experienced over the life of the tree.’ Read more on Treehugger

Our Tropical Blush & Rainy Skies Fish Scale scarves are stirring up a cocktail of a blizzard in Skandinavia & Middle America.

Verdens Skove “Forests of the World”, a Danish environmental organisation, mobilised more than 200,000 Danes in the 80’s & 90’s running major campaigns preserving Rainforest in Middle & South America. Millions were raised to preserve major areas of precious Rainforest securing vast habitat to this present day.

This year Verdens Skove re-launched its campaign with a focus on Nicaragua and a broader vision of preserving the lives of indigenous people inhabiting the forests, the biodiversity of the territory and providing FSC certification for the forests wood.

The way it’s done

Rainforest certificates are purchased securing the preservation of hectars of forests & indigenous cultures.

Until April 2012 we are committing 15% of online sales of our Tropical Blush & Rainy Skies Fish Scale scarves towards the purchase of Rainforest Certificates.
