HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA #24: BLACKBIRD 12 x 12 FRAMED PHOTOS
The framed photo collection from Blackbird stems from our obsession with vintage photographs. We have been collecting them for quite some time now and have narrowed down a small selection for this first series that we now offer you for your home.
Before the days of instant camera phone photography, the "snap-shot" was a memory captured, and then later reminisced about once the photographs were developed, days, months, even years later, making the act of recording life's moments that much more special. The images we have painstakingly chosen represent themes of photographic silence. Simultaneously something violent and quiet. The beauty of the billowing black clouds in Smoke 1, 2, and 3 are in juxtaposition to the sometimes hard trials and error of flight testing way back when.
Join us as we continue to expand and reach deeper into your home with our own unique point of view.

Diptyque - Philosykos Solid Perfume
DETAILS: Philosykos holds the natural olfactory balance of the whole of the fig tree. The leaves and flower add a touch of green freshness that the woody note of white cedar finishes off and the sap and resin give more complexity to the structure of the perfume. FRAGRANCE NOTES: Fig Tree Leaf, Fig Tree Wood, and White Cedar.
Diptyque - Eau Duelle Solid Perfume
DETAILS: Diptyque offers its newest creation Eau Duelle. It is described as a "narrow escapade between gentleness and character, femininity and virility, white vanilla and black frankincense". This unisex fragrance can be worn by anyone and is complementary day or night. FRAGRANCE NOTES: Juniper, vanilla, black frankincense
Diptyque - L'Ombre Solid Perfume
DETAILS: The mixture of crumpled blackcurrant leaves and Bulgarian rose petals was the inspiration for L'Ombre dans L'Eau. This cool fragrance does not differentiate between masculine and feminine, and calls for luxury and sophistication.
FRAGRANCE NOTES: Bulgarian Rose, Blackcurrant Leaf, and Amber.NEW AT BLACKBIRD: BLACKBIRD KASIMIR AND MASTERMIND LIGHTERS
Got a light? Yes we do. Just in at Blackbird are our new Kasimir and Mastermind lighters. Inspired by Russian painter, Kasimir Malevich, these lighters burn hot like the flame Malevich's avant-garde art was during the deep freeze of Stalinist Russia in the late 1920's and early 1930's.
Credited for founding the Suprematist school of Russian art philosophy, he created a theoretical 'grammar' based on fundamental geometric forms; in particular, the square and the circle. Critics derided Malevich for reaching art by negating everything good and pure: love of life and love of nature. Malevich responded that art can advance and develop for art's sake alone, regardless of its pleasure saying that "art does not need us, and it never did".
Carry a little artistic revolution around with you in the form of this lighter. And if you loan it to someone for a light, make sure to get it back.
