Designers Sherwood Forlee and Mihoko Ouchi collaborate on whimsical projects under the grammatically-incorrect moniker "the." (period included). Their latest project, "Financial Padding," is a playful jab at the finance sector and, conversely, a bit of wishful thinking during the ongoing recession.
With "Financial Padding," the. flirts with illicit activity in order to reappropriate the metaphor of wealth as a cushion—it may be green, but it's certainly not sustainable. What's next, a parachute that's actually made of gold?
Their site, thinkofthe.com, is well worth a visit.
