SHFT

http://www.shft.com

SHFT is a multi-media platform founded by film producer Peter Glatzer and actor-filmmaker Adrian Grenier. Our mission is to convey a more sustainable approach to the way we live through video, design, art and culture. As filmmakers who are concerned with climate change, we felt that we could bring something creative to express the changes we wanted to see and were, gratefully, starting to observe. 
SHFT celebrates the burgeoning sustainable marketplace where great design and innovation meet.  We vote with our dollars and can have a powerful impact when we do.

Wren + Glory has partnered with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show to bring you a limited edition capsule collection. Designed with the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, all pieces are made of brass and plated in 18k gold or white gold. The sound wave not only represents the logo, but also the gift of hearing that we often take for granted. Gloria & Renee, designing sisters behind the jewelry brand, have first hand understanding of this. Their dad was born with a major hearing deficiency, and has worn hearing aids his entire life.
