Greece is for lovers

The other day, I discovered a design group called Greek is for lovers, and they had some fun stuff on their site. But the one thing that really interested me was their comment on the home page: "Greek is for lovers...it sure isn’t for hard workers! We are superb dancers, we soak up the sun and we live by the beach; we indulge in huge meals and smash the plates afterwards; We chat up tourists after our long midday siestas. But in our free time, we love designing objects." What a great introduction. And what a great name... They're obviously influenced by the ancient greeks, too- check it out;)
