This afternoon.
Irish event industry supplier Flying Elephant Productions was one of the first to be hit by Covid-19. Sixty commissions for stages and sets for exhibitions and concerts were cancelled overnight, and all of their employees were sent home…

Founders Michael Keelan and Max Fox took a breath, reimagined their whole business and pivoted quickly to launch the first Flying Elephant desk as a solution to remote working.
A desk that could be assembled in a minute or less, easy to store, well made, stylish, affordable from €149 and ideal for people working from home. An idea was born and the business, along with 17 jobs, was saved.
Now Flying Elephant is ready to take off again with an exciting NEW range of Christmas toys, gifts and an extended ‘Work from Home’ range which have been 100% Irish made with their signature finish, creative flair and distinctive Flying Elephant motif.
The Flying Elephant Online Christmas Shop is now OPEN
In fairness.

Quantum timing issue.

It’s great that they saved 17 jobs. I will keep note of this for Xmas shopping
Just treated myself to the desktop stands
and the wine rack, ‘natch (。_。)
I’ll report back
Stuff arrived yesterday
Pics on twitter -just click there on the V aka etc
(Monitor stands)
The wine rack can wait until I clear out the spot for it
Absolutely delighted – so far
The assembly took less time than the Nespresso did with the half decaff just now
And the design is so brilliant, you know you’ve done it properly the moment you lift it up
Well done lads
Would love to have you on a BS.tv Covid Diversified SME special we’ve been kinda brewing
And btw, folks, it was online sure
But the delivery was so personal and chatty
It was as good as any local shop front experience
Got one of these desks a few weeks ago, excellent quality and easily packed away if we do ever get back to the office
Bought one…Love it
