Colorgem Collection No 2
€40.00
The process of using Color Gem crayons mirrors the erosion of rocks. With every stroke, you leave your artistic mark, creating patterns and textures that resemble the indents and imperfections found in natural formations. The corners become dulled, revealing the wear and tear that comes with the creative process.
Unto is a multidisciplinary studio based in Tapei, founded in 2019. Their work is charachterized by drawing a close lens on nature, using the significance of objects as cultural conduits, and reintroducing things in a way that we might often otherwise overlook. Hand-finished in the studio, each Color Gem crayon is a unique piece of art. The craftsmanship is evident in the slight signs of irregularity and breach that may occur. These imperfections add to the charm and authenticity of the crayon, making it feel even more like a natural gemstone.
Collection #2 includes Lapis Lazuli, Granite and Mother of Pearl.

Mind And Body Book
€22.00
A practical and playful guide to balancing and maintaining physical and mental harmony.
The modern world can present the body as a machine that just needs to be regularly exercised. However, it is a remarkably sensitive organ in which a lot of our pain and hope is stored and that we need to interpret and handle with subtlety. This impact of our body upon our mind is something that needs to be explored as it is easy to pay attention to one more than the other and to ignore the crucial balance between the two.

How to Overcome Your Childhood Book
€14.00
We don’t have to remain prisoners of the past, but in order to liberate ourselves from our histories we must first become fully aware of them.
How to overcome your childhood is an English book by The School of Life about such a liberation. We learn about how character is developed, the concept of ‘emotional inheritance’, the formation of our concepts of being ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and the impact of parental styles of love on the way we choose adult partners. We learn too about how we might evolve emotionally and, in particular, how we may sometimes need to have a breakdown in order to have a breakthrough.
We are left with a powerful sense that building up an emotionally successful adult life is possible so long as we reflect with sufficient imagination and compassion on what happened to us a long while back.
Topics Include:
- Emotional Inheritance – How emotional problems are handed down from parent to child
- The Golden Child Syndrome – How too much love from our parents can be just as damaging as too little
- Over-Achievement – How we compensate for emotional neglect through worldly success
- Splitting – How we fail to reconcile between the good and bad aspects of our parents
- Soothing – How we still require the kinds of affection we received as children
- Becoming an Adult – How recognising our immaturity is the key to growth
