AUSTIN, TX, January 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) Wexel Art is proud to announce that it has partnered with one of the most renowned product designers in the world, the legendary Eva Zeisel, to make design history. Wexel Art is introducing the first frame collection designed by Zeisel, who continues her remarkable career at age 104.
The Wexel Art frames will premiere at the New York Gift Show, January 30- February 3, 2011. In light of its importance as a collector's item, the first 250 frames will be numbered with a guarantee of authenticity.
"The immense honor of working with a legendary designer like Eva Zeisel makes me feel like the happiest entrepreneur on the planet. It's like fulfilling a lifelong dream for me," said Natasha McRee, co-owner of Wexel Art and a self professed Eva fan.
There will be three acrylic frames in the Eva collection including the Genie, the Cloud and the Charm, each 16'x16". Pairs of magnets hold any type of artwork or photos behind the acrylic, enabling the consumer to change the display as often as they change their mind. "While the Wexel Art product line is ideal for displaying an ever-changing collection of kids' art and family photos, the Eva collection is so stunning, it looks beautiful bare without anything behind the acrylic," said Morgan Kimble, co-owner of Wexel Art.
The frames have surprising design elements that add grace and originality. They are beautiful as a single element on the wall or in multiples.
Born in Budapest in 1906, Zeisel has been honored with exhibitions of her work at the Museum of Modern Art, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, The British Museum, the Brohan Museum in Berlin, a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs de Montreal, and many more.
In 2005 she received The National Design Award for Lifetime Achievement. She is the author of Eva Zeisel On Design: The Magic Language of Things (Overlook Press), and is featured in numerous books on design.
The Eva collection of Wexel Art frames by Wexelart will be available this Spring 2011.

'Catch-up' growth signals revealed
2011-01-29
ANN ARBOR, Mich.---University of Michigan researchers have uncovered molecular signals that regulate catch-up growth---the growth spurt that occurs when normal conditions are restored after a fetus, young animal or child has been ill, under stress or deprived of enough food or oxygen to grow properly.
The results, published in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Development, could lead to better understanding of why babies who undergo catch-up growth are at higher risk in later life for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and other health problems.
"Catch-up growth ...
Mini-strokes leave 'hidden' brain damage: Vancouver Coastal Health and UBC Research
2011-01-29
Each year, approximately 150,000 Canadians have a transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes known as a mini-stroke. New research published today in Stroke, the journal of the American Heart Association shows these attacks may not be transient at all. They in fact create lasting damage to the brain.
The stroke research team, led by Dr. Lara Boyd, physical therapist and neuroscientist with the Brain Research Centre at Vancouver Coastal Health and the University of British Columbia, studied 13 patients from the Stroke Prevention Clinic at Vancouver General Hospital and ...

Victor Chang scientists unlock the 'gates' on sudden cardiac death
2011-01-29
Australian researchers have come one step closer to understanding how the rhythm of the heartbeat is controlled and why many common drugs, including some antibiotics, antihistamines and anti-psychotics, can cause a potentially fatal abnormal heart rhythm.
It is estimated around 40-50% of all drugs in development will block one of the main 'channels' that carries electricity in the heart and, as a result, can cause heart rhythm problems called cardiac arrhythmias. Most sudden cardiac deaths are caused by cardiac arrhythmias.
Since 1996, nine drugs have been withdrawn ...
ONR's TechSolutions providing SEALs with new glasses that change lens color on the fly
2011-01-29
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Office of Naval Research's (ONR) TechSolutions department is set to deliver to Navy Special Warfare Command personnel later this year new protective eyewear that will eliminate the need for warfighters to stop to change out colored lenses to accommodate differences in light levels.
The Fast-Tint Protective Eyewear (FTPE) changes color quicker than transitional lenses commonly found at an optometrist's office. "Transition time is less than 0.5 seconds," said Stephanie Everett, ONR's TechSolutions program manager.
"Currently, warfighters are using ...
Vitamin D deficiency alters lung growth and decreases lung function
2011-01-29
Previously linked to the severity of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in humans, vitamin D deficiency has now been shown to alter lung structure and function in young mice. The new study, conducted by researchers in Australia, offers the first concrete evidence linking vitamin D deficiency with deficits in lung function and altered lung structure.
The findings were published online ahead of the print edition of the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
"The results of this study clearly demonstrate ...
Hormone therapy begun at menopause may pose risk for breast cancer
2011-01-29
Starting hormone therapy at around the time of menopause is associated with a greater risk of breast cancer compared to starting after a longer gap, according to a study published online Jan. 28 in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute. In this large, prospectively followed cohort of women, those who started hormone therapy five years or more after menopause had little or no increased risk, regardless of the type of hormone therapy used, how long they used it, and whether they were overweight or obese.
Many studies have established that breast cancer incidence ...
'Old' information theory makes it easier to predict flooding
2011-01-29
Many different aspects are involved in predicting high water and floods, such as the type of precipitation, wind, buildings and vegetation. The greater the number of variables included in predictive models, the better the prediction will be. However, the models will inevitably become increasingly more complex. PhD student from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, The Netherlands) Steven Weijs uses basic insight from the information theory (Shannon's Information Theory) to demonstrate the cohesion between this added complexity, the information from observational data ...
Exposure to worm infection in the womb may protect against eczema, study suggests
2011-01-29
Exposure to worm infections in the womb may protect a newborn infant from developing eczema, a study funded by the Wellcome Trust suggests. A large trial in Uganda showed that treating a pregnant woman for worm infections increased her child's chances of developing the allergic skin disease.
Published this week in the journal Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, the research supports the so-called 'hygiene hypothesis', which proposes that exposure to infections in early childhood can modify the immune system and protect the child from allergies later in life.
The World ...
Cancer drug aids the regeneration of spinal cord injuries
2011-01-29
After a spinal cord injury a number of factors impede the regeneration of nerve cells. Two of the most important of these factors are the destabilization of the cytoskeleton and the development of scar tissue. While the former prevents regrowth of cells, the latter creates a barrier for severed nerve cells. Scientists of the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried and their colleagues from the Kennedy Krieger Institute and University of Miami in the United States, and the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, have now shown that the cancer drug Taxol reduces ...
