Winning Winnie

15 Aug 2012

Deep in the Hundred Acre Wood, you’ll find the enchanted neighborhood of Winnie the Pooh-and his pals, Warren Group | Studio Deluxe. In a collaboration with Disney Consumer Products, we took on the task of recreating the original Pooh designs for a new generation of Disney shoppers. The project included everything from the famous bear himself to calendars, clothes and specialty toys. We even produced a charming tea kettle for grown-up kids. After all, what goes better with honey than a warm spot of tea. Our friend Pooh agrees.


SHOW and TELL

For most designers, art museums are inspiration for our daily craft. The Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art (LACMA) is one our personal favorite haunts. Inside LACMA’s gift shop,  you can find reprints of Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse, and at leas one true original-Wilshire Boulevard Linen Tea Towels, part of the Lindy Sue product line designed by Linda Warren. Each one celebrates a landmark L.A. street and is suitable for framing. Available at LindySues.com.
