UPDATED! Limited Edition Singapore Exclusive Local Design Series Products By Thermos

Hi Huneybees,

In celebration of its 113th Anniversary, Thermos Singapore has just launched its Limited Edition Singapore Exclusive Local Design Series Products - a one-push tumbler with Singapore’s iconic landmarks, and a food jar with drawings of traditional local food - with the collaboration from Pathlight School.

(From left to right) Ms Linda Kho (Principal, Pathlight School) and Grace Ong (Student Artist, Artist Development Programme, Pathlight School) as Jonathan Cai (Student Artist, Artist Development Programme, Pathlight School) presents his own artwork as a token of appreciation to Mr Hirokazu Otomo (Managing Director, Thermos Singapore) and Mr Seiichi Itoh (Chairman, Thermos Singapore).

Working for the first time with the Artist Development Programme from Singapore's first autism-focus school has not only resulted in the creation of two very distinct and beautifully designed products for Thermos Singapore, but also contributed to Thermos' corporate social responsibility to the community.

Through the collaboration, Thermos Singapore is able to uncover the talented artists - like Jonathan Cai and Grace Ong - among young people with special need by bringing their arts to the home and hearts of its customer.

During my short interaction with both young artists at the media session, I realised while both share great passion for arts and are very meticulous in their artwork, their styles are very different.
The style of Jonathan Cai is more structured - lines and curves -  as he prefers architecture and takes his inspiration from books and magazines while Grace Ong's style is more free flow and she takes her inspiration from the things she experienced and observed around her. In fact through Grace mum, I got the privilege to see her art portfolio and came to realisation she has great interest in jewellery design and hope one day her designs could be wore by many people!

Featuring detailed architectural line art of the Marina Skyline, by the hands of the 13 years old Artist, Jonathan Cai, the ultra-light and sleek tumbler showcases iconic landmarks such as Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands.

Singapore Exclusive Local Design Food Jar pays tribute to Singapore’s rich heritage of local delights. Grace Ong, who is 15 years old, transforms the food jar into a chic canvas with an assortment of local traditional foods such as Kueh Tutu, Kueh Lapis and Lepat Kacang in gold

To extend Thermos Singapore's support for many more young differently-abled aspiring artists, the global manufacturer and the pioneer in developing innovative vacuum-insulated products will be donating two specially designed big size bottles  - The Thermos® FDH-2005, which has a large capacity 2.0L - for a charity auction. 
Each bottle is specially hand-drawn by none other than the talented Jonathan Cai and Grace Ong!

[What's New] KIEHL’S GIVES WITH ELLE & 4 Socially Responsible Celebrity Partners Charity Event

Hi Huneybees,

Over the weekend, I was invited to Kiehl's Charity Event at the newly revamped Suntec City. It was held in support of Autism Association (Singapore). Over 50 years ago, their second generation founding-family member, Mr. Aaron Morse established the Mission of Kiehl’s in saying: “A worthwhile firm must have a purpose for its existence…to improve in some way the quality of the community to which it is committed.”

This July, Kiehl’s is proud to extend its relationship with the Autism Association (Singapore). 100% of the nett proceeds from the sale of the Limited Edition Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque 142g will be donated to raise awareness for the children. If you want to read more about the masque, here's my review for it...

So, this year’s local charity initiative is anunique collaboration with ELLE Singapore and four celebrity partners, George Young (FLY Entertainment Artiste), Michelle Chong (Director/Host/Actress), Mike Kasem and Jean Danker (Class95 Radio DJs). Three Limited Edition designs will be adorning the caps of our Rare Earth Masques which will be on sale from 1st July 2013 at $45 each.

At the event, we got to hear from Sharon Lim from ELLE Singapore as well as Evelyne Ly from Kiehl's Singapore about the collaboration. Brenda Tan was also invited on stage to talk about her book "Come Into My World". She has a boy with autism and this book comes with 31 stories that voices the hopes and fears of many families. They  are true accounts contributed by Moms, Dads, siblings and autistic persons themselves.

Sharon Lim from ELLE Singapore

“We are honored to be the first magazine in Singapore to collaborate with Kiehl's on this amazing annual charity project — especially with ELLE Singapore celebrating its 20th anniversary in Singapore this year. ELLE and Kiehl’s Gives Back chose to focus on women with autistic children, a group that is often under the radar and one that we feel needs our help and support.

The personalities participating this year have a special connection with ELLE Singapore: They have all been past winners of the annual ELLE Awards which honors the best talent in Singapore. George Young, Michelle Chong and Class 95FM’s Cartunes duo Jean Danker and Mike Kasem are role models in their own right. Their designs reflect this year's theme — Love. Joy. Happiness — and celebrate community, values which could be easily forgotten in in a busy city like Singapore. As always, we hope people will give generously. I can’t think of a better way to look good and do good.” --- Sharon Lim, Editor-in-Chief of ELLE 

“Autism is something very close to my heart. I’ve got two brothers who’ve been diagnosed with autism, one on the severe side and one on the moderate to severe side on the autism spectrum. It was an o bvious choice for me. I worked with Kiehl’s last year on this, and I’m glad to work with Kiehl’s and ELLE this year as well. I hope the products sell really well and get money for the Autism Association here in Singapore.” --- George Young, FLY Entertainment Artiste

“My friend’s niece is autistic. Every time I went to her house she would run around after her shower and wouldn’t want to wear her clothes, but she’s very good with languages. So I think it’s important to help all these kids because they’re all special in their own right.” --- Michelle Chong, Director/ Host/ Actress

“This is a really creative way of creating awareness for autism in Singapore. We had a lot of fun designing for Kiehl’s.” --- Jean Danker, Class95 Radio DJ

“I have first-hand experience of close friends who have an autistic child, so for me this is close to my heart and very special to me, and I’m very glad Jean and I can do our part and help with autism." --- Mike Kasem, Class95 Radio DJ

Do drop by the new Kiehl's store at Suntec City or any of their branches to do your part for the Autism Association (Singapore). Let me say this again, 100% of the nett proceeds from the sale of the Limited Edition Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque 142g will be donated to raise awareness for the children. 

Here's also some other products from Kiehl's that you might want to check out...
