We're here. We're Butch. Get used to it.

Moss is proud to introduce BUTCH-CRAFT to the world. It defines a movement toward tough, raw, rough work crafted in wood, iron, steel, marble, rust, paint, boiled leather, clay, baked agricultural waste, plant-life, gypsum drywall and blood, sweat and tears. Yes, I said baked agricultural waste, and I meant it. We are NOT kidding around. We will KICK YOUR ASS. And this is only the beginning.  

Stool of the Wild West

Sometimes you need someone from outside to see the potential which should have been obvious all along. Who on the Great Plains would have noticed that there was a stool hiding in the head of a bison. Michele De Lucchi did. See what I mean? That's his Bisonte plywood stool there on the left. Italians see furniture everywhere.

Get yourself your own stool inspired by a bison's head.

Keep cool with an Elvis cross

In Mexico, where they also know from heat, comes this refreshing hybrid of two of our favorite icons: Elvis and Christ. Together again. It's rumored that if you have one of these strange little items hanging in your living room above the sofa, then you don't need air conditioning. You just feel cool. We don't know how it works, but it's what we hear. Personally, I always thought Elvis was a little cold. But that's just me. 

For a mere $110, you can have your own cross of St. Elvis

The Greenest Beach Bag

Milan based Luisa Cevese is the ultimate recycler. She recovers industrial textile castoffs and uses them to make incredibly beautiful, totally practical and occasionally ethereal objects you can use. She embeds them in polyurethane, much like you might laminate your driver's license. Unlike your driver's license, however, her work does not feature a small unappealing photograph of you, and is something you'd be proud to show off. Like at the beach. Like if you're using it to carry your copy of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and an old tube of Coppertone.

This glass is called an "ice stopper". Maybe it should be called a "heat stopper".

We're selling exotic glasses by the pair. You know,  like they did on the Ark. Or did we misunderstand that story? Anyway, you need some great tumblers by Angelo Mangiarotti? Ones that stop the ice before it slides down and breaks your front teeth? Are you in luck, chum. Because we're drowning in them. Plus we got the famous Bibulo beer glasses, and about thirty other pairs of greatness.  Bottoms up, au pair.
Get your pair of glasses here.

Just got back from vacation in the Gulf of Mexico. What a blast.

Dying like it's 2008

As is well documented, 2008 was the last  great year for celebrity deaths. It was so jam packed that we were compelled to create the acclaimed Gone But Not Forgotten commemorative finger puppets, which are now available again, in response to the pent up demand for celebrity death memorabilia given the last two months of one after another after another. It's been a veritable gusher of CD's. Who's next, one wonders?

Meanwhile pause to remember Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Jesse Helms, Maharishi Maresh Yogi, the great Yves Saint Laurent, Charlton Heston and, saddest of all,  Heath Ledger.
