Making Allstate synonymous with “knowing” and the people who know things adds a refreshing dimension to the confidence that comes from knowing “you’re in good hands.” And it marks Wieden+Kennedy Portland’s first campaign for the insurance company.
The campaign includes three spots directed by David Shane of O Positive, including this :30 titled “Not Going To Fit” in which we meet a woman who’s “a human tape measure,” immediately able to determine if, for example, grandma will be able to get a huge turkey into the oven, or if a man will be able to comfortably get into a garment.

Uncommon Creative Studio, Ecover Furnish Us With A Means of Sustainability: “The Rewear Chair”
Uncommon Creative Studio in London created this film which explains another of its creations--a beautiful, sustainable furniture design: “The Rewear Chair” for eco-pioneer Ecover.
Overwashing our clothes is bad for the planet. Anything that helps us wash less is a good thing. When you think about sustainability, you think about sacrifice for the planet. But the eco choice doesn’t have to be the difficult choice. Good design can turn innovation into beauty. With the right design, making the right choice is easy.

It is made from windfelled cedarwood, chosen for its natural deodorizing qualities, ensuring that clothes stay fresh without constant washing. The chair’s arms can be extended to hang up to a week’s worth of clothes, allowing garments to air out in an organized and stylish manner.
The bespoke chair will be showcased at Dutch Design Week taking place in Eindhoven from October 19–27.
