Middle East Art from Tadè

French Look International is an importer and exclusive distributor of high-end and luxury niche brands from Europe. Their brands relate to different aspects of lifestyle and bring something truly unique. Their collections include assortments of fine bath collections, original home fragrances, uniquely scented candles and personal perfumes as well as home furnishings, garden accessories and high quality teas. Their products represent the absolute best from France, England, Italy and Belgium.

“Tade” is one part of French Look International.
Founded in 1995, Tade is a company where craftspeople, artists and merchants combine their talents to bring the traditions of the Middle East into the homes and lifestyle of today.
The ritual surrounding the art of bathing and cooking is symbolized in everyday, familiar items. The simplicity in the choice of raw materials and the sumptuous Middle Eastern design bestow a powerful identity upon these otherwise modest objects.
Ten years ago, while browsing through the Souks of the Middle East, the discovery of these objects sparked off the idea of exploring the mysticism and riches of these lands in depth. Inspiration came from the cooking of oils, the baking of glass and clay, the forging of iron and copper, and from a world rich in vegetables and minerals.

SOAP
The soap has been made in the same way in Aleppo for centuries. Its legendary reputation and mildness come from the high olive and laurel oil content, combined with a nine month drying process.

BATH ACCESSORIES
The wash mitts are made from cotton or sisal and give a rich lather when used with soap. After a long shower, the exfoliating mitts remove dead skin.
The black pumice stone’s rough texture removes hard skin. The alum stone has astringent properties, tightens and lifts the skin, and reduces perspiration. It is used as a deodorant, to relieve razor burn and to restore brightness to drab white linens and garments.

GLASS
The craftsman blows the red-hot molten glass, which gradually takes shape before cooling and becoming iridescent. The process is repeated day and night until the fire in the clay furnace, rebuilt every three months, dies.

COPPER

Copper is a perfect heat convector making it ideal for kitchen utensils. Tin-plating gives it a silver finish and acts as a barrier against its sharp, acid taste. This non-toxic alloy is applied while hot and will last indefinitely provided that it is dried after use. Clean with silver polish.

RECYCLED TIRES

What was once a car or truck tire has been recycled as a tub, a carrier, or a modest pair of sandals. Modeled on early leather originals, these objects draw their strength from the hardwearing nature of rubber, combined with the expertise and perseverance of traditional craftsmen.

Strong, skilled hands are required to transform thick, tough strips of rubber tire into genuine works of art.

WROUGHT IRON

Modest raw materials are expertly transformed into refined pieces of furniture, representative of the elegant and much celebrated Middle Eastern hospitality. Wrought iron and tin plated (non-toxic), copper consoles and pedestal tables, stools and chairs will extend a generous and characteristically oriental welcome to your guests.

Tokens & Coins - Boeing 707

Post by Administrator on 09/5/2008

707R - Wing Rib Cuff Links

cufflinks.jpg

There is no airline more influential, more important, or better known than Pan Am Airways. From 1927 to 1991, this aviation pioneer set the stage for commercial air travel, transporting hundreds of thousands of passengers across oceans and around the world. Its Boeing 707 service on the North Atlantic was the first pure-jet service by a U.S. airline and marked the beginning of age of jet transport. With a longer fuselage, bigger wings, higher-powered engines and increased fuel capacity, it could travel farther and more smoothly than ever before.

The inaugural took place on October 26, 1958, on Clipper America, from New York to Paris and covered 3,634 miles in 8 hours and 41 minutes. Pam Am’s staying power and the Boeing 707 went on to revolutionize intercontinental travel.

Twenty-five years later, Pan Am decided to have a celebration worthy of its historic achievement, duplicating as closely as possible the original inaugural flight. A Boeing 707 was stripped to bare metal and repainted to duplicate the color scheme used on the original 707 in 1958. To make the recreation authentic, popular magazines and newspapers from 1958 were placed in the seat pockets, 1958 movies were shown on board, and the dinner menu was adopted from the 1958 Maxim’s of Paris version used on the inaugural.

Tokens & Coins has acquired a section of fuselage from this now-retired Pan American Boeing 707, N880PA, recreating the shape of the plane’s gravity-defying wing ribs, rounded rectangular windows & flush rivets in three unique designs. Each pair incorporates the plane’s feather-light aluminum and original sky-blue paint, harking back to a time when air travel was a luxury, an event for which gentlemen donned suits, ties and yes, cuff links.
