The Yawley Family Inn, a home-away-from-home for patient families of the Children’s Hospital Boston, is about hope. So when ASI, New England provided a signage system and donor recognition elements for the inn, they selected “Ithemba,” part of 3form’s Varia line of ecoresins (40% recycled content, GreenGuard Certified) and one of its “Full Circle” products that encapsulates handcrafted materials made by indigenous peoples.
Ithemba features a copper and beaded pattern produced by HIV-impacted African women, giving them a source of income, and means “hope” in the Xosi language. The donor elements also incorporate tempered-glass panels that are updated annually and reinstalled. (Photo: John Gillooly)
