Ursa the Bear

Previous  Up  Next" 
Admit it, you still love the Yogi Bear cartoons from the late 1950's. Unlike a real honey-loving bear, this little friend does not require high maintenance. He is ready for play whenever you are. Ursa the Bear is a fun and very unique quality wooden toy. Ursa the Bear was created by Brooklyn-based designer David Weeks. This bear was named Ursa, its name is Latin for 'Bear'.

Ursa the Bear is a brave, strong, and curious looking animal. His powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses, and his elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make him almost impervious to breakage. Ursa the Bear makes a great unique gift idea for both children and adults.

Nothing could be simpler than lighting by Butter (www.butter-ny.com), a product design company that evolved from a collaboration between Lindsey Adams Adelman ’96 [Industrial Design] and David Weeks. While Adelman was racking up experience at Resolute, a lighting company in Seattle, Weeks was establishing his own Brooklyn-based design firm, David Weeks Lighting. In 1998 the two began trading ideas and the following year Butter’s inaugural product, the glass-fiber Lunette clip-on lampshade, was introduced at London’s 100% Design Show. It has since won awards from I.D. and Blueprint magazines, and is now available at stores ranging from Urban Outfitters to the MoMA gift shop. “Our goal is to design and produce products for the home that are simple and innovative as well as affordable,” Adelman says, “We work closely with manufacturers to develop pieces that make sense to mass-produce without dumbing them down.”
