Pandas on a napkin
It was the night before EpCon 2010, and we needed something to spice up our about page. Our team had grown to 8 people, and I don't even have their photos (yes, we were not even friends on Facebook yet). So I sketched these cartoons on a napkin. Thank you EPIC team for scanning it for us :)
How would you spend $85k?
Banquete Chair with Pandas LIMITED EDITIONdesigner: Fernando and Humberto Campanadesign year: 2006manufacturer: Estudio Campana, Brazilmaterials: compilation of stuffed animals on metal baseThis chair is number 1 in the edition of 25 pieces, exclusive to Moss. Each chair is numbered and embroidered with the following: "Pandas Chair, Limited Edition, Campana Brothers" and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, signed by Fernando and Humberto Campana.dimensions: approximately 41" x 37"price: $85,000.00A bagful of stuffed panda toys on a metal frame is worth $85k? Now that is value creation. The designers must have had one heck of a sales team. Lesson to be learnt - scarcity and perceived values drive up demand... and prices! But this is one piece of furniture that you will never find in our office.[EDIT: someone suggested that we make our own chair. That would not be a good use of our time and would condemn unfortunate innocent stuff pandas to a life of ass-kissing, something that is not needed at Thinkpanda, or any startup ideally] -
