Winter 8E Quarterly Subscription Piece: Burrow

There are reasons why people tell you not to make major decisions or take on additional projects when pregnant with your first baby! Fjora Magnolia (pronounced F-Yora) was born in May + we bought our first house in June + did some traveling. It's been a whirlwind 6 months! Our Eight Emperor studio hours were cut way back. Matt took the helm in designing and making the Winter 8E Subscription piece this year. And Thea is now returning to the wood studio,  creating new pieces that will launch in January! Stay tuned. Onward and Upward!

This Winter's 8E Quarterly Subscription Piece is titled 'Burrow' and is a great little flipbook that measures 4 1/2" x 1 3/8" x 3/4". It is made from acid free archival paper and aluminum screwposts.

It comes with a cover to protect it when not in use.

Those already signed up for the subscription will receive it starting December 1. Matt has made a bunch of flipbooks along the way and each has always been well received. Check out this one on vimeo--- Cutout Flipbook

We missed posting about the Fall Subscription series piece! 'Dorsal' will be available as part of our regular collection in January 2014 at a premium price.

The 8E Quarterly Subscription offers you four seasonal art & design pieces. You can sign up any time during the year. If you sign up to receive 'Burrow' for Winter 2013, you will then receive a piece in the Spring (March 1, 2014), Summer (June 1) and Fall (September 1). Each is a surprise, with an image of the piece leaked 1 month before it ships!

New 8E Quarterly Subscription Series

We, at Eight Emperors, are excited to tell you about our new 8E Quarterly Subscription Series, which launches TODAY! We all know about music and magazine subscriptions and how they work. Well, our art & design subscription series is a great way to curate some art into your home!

Spring's paper piece is We are building and measures 4"x3.5"x2.5"

The 8E Quarterly Subscription features 4 art & design pieces, Spring (March 1), Summer (June 1), Fall (September 1) and Winter (December 1), sent directly to your door. It rotates between paper, wood, ceramic and then a collaborative piece in paper and wood. Each piece is a surprise: It is announced 1 month before the ship date. (TODAY is the Spring paper piece's announcement and ships starting March 1!) It is then available for a 3-month window. You can sign up any time during those 3-months, but after that time period, the piece is then not available until 2 months later in our general collection and at a premium rate.

We are building shown on Blomst Single shelf, found in the Eight Emperors Collection.

For example, if you sign up anytime between February 1 - April 30, you will receive Spring's paper piece, then a wood piece in early June, a ceramic piece in early September and a collaborative piece in early December. If you sign up anytime between May 1 - July 30, you will receive June's wood piece, then September, December and finally March 2014's piece. The 1-year subscription cycles into 2014.

We are building utilizes a curved cut-score technique on a single sheet of acid-free archival paper.

For $200 plus shipping, you receive 4 pieces, handmade in our studios in Ann Arbor, Michigan from archival and sustainable materials. The 8E Quarterly Subscription is a simple way to begin an art & design collection and a great gift for any art & design lover! You can sign up here.
