Endrit has been working for a company designing Bamboo objects, and will be off to China shortly to facilitate manufacturing of his designs; more to come on the company and their products!


And Josh Longo - president, vice-president, secretary of state and activities director of Longoland has fantastic news and here it is, in his own words;

" Longoland was recently asked to design monsters by VCCP (ad agency)
for o2 (Euro Telecommunications). The monsters represent tariffs that the phone
companies impose on you, Flat-Rate, High Price, etc... There will be TV commercials, online ads, instore displays,
all covered in Longoland monsters, but only in Germany as of right now. Longoland is super excited to see his monsters
on TV and hopes to work on more commercial work soon!!!! Click the link below to see the commercial!!!!!

Endrit Hanjro update & Porceain & Glass Manufacturers

Endrit has been blogged in Yanko Design

"Turn Me Upside Down

Hey now, no matter which way you orient this vase designed by Endrit Hajno, it’ll hold a flower. See, when a man comes over and brings you a dozen roses, this is the perfect vase. But what if he comes over with just one rose. First of all, dump him – that cheap ass. But being the kind person you are, you wait til’ after dinner to do so. For now, you just flip the vase over and display his single rose. Aww, bet that’ll make him feel special."



and has been getting a lot of blog press for his recent work - He can use some help from those in the industry;
Endrit is looking for prototype fabrication and possible short runs for one of his project; He notes:
" parameters: Porcelain slip, need prototypes, and possibly small runs if its worth it. 10in x 5in x 5in. Does not have to be local or US companies."
If you have had good experience with manufacturer please email me or Endrit - his site is listed above, thanks!
