Lovely Point Of View

Heller Dinnerware - A reintroduction of a timeless design by Massimo and Lella Vignelli.
The design takes advantage of the lightness and flexibility of melamine resin and can be stored as a compact grouping. Made in a rainbow of colors.

“I like to design to be semantically correct, syntactically consistent and pragmatically understandable,” said Massimo Vignelli, and all three can be said of his Heller Dinnerware (1964). Originally manufactured in Italy, this stackable dinnerware won the prestigious Compasso d'Oro Award for Good Design in 1964. In 1971, manufacturing moved to the United States, and Heller Dinnerware became the first product made by a company called Heller, now an international furniture manufacturer.

This dinnerware was such an important part of my early upbringing - along with eating really good food, colorful place settings for making many fond meal memories.

Orange rust silk crepe with rich embroidery of pearls, sequins and gold chenilles, all set with oranges raw stones and turquoises! Small short sleeves with cuffs. Chasuble cut slit on the front revealing a sub-dress in chamois silk crepe."

Weltron - Space Age 360 AM FM Radio with 8 Track. I love that the description has the radio component first. ha. This is another blast from the past. There is a suction cup on the bottom to cling to a surface. And a retractable handle to carry it wherever you want to.
There was a movie years I saw years ago, a man communicates through the radio. hmm. I think there are so many moments this actually happens, but most label them as pure coincidences.
I believe our loved ones continue to be here for us, as our ambitions and desires evolve, in their pure promise to being with life is a beautiful as eternal constant exchange. As we are, and they do. ❤️
