Google Provides $1,000 USD Allowance to Employees Working From Home

Google will be providing its employees who are required to work from home, due to the coronavirus pandemic, $1,000 allowance. Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai made the announcement in a blog post. There is a strong possibility that employees will be working from home for the rest of the year.

Our campuses are designed to enable collaboration and community—in fact, some of our greatest innovations were the result of chance encounters in the office—and it’s clear this is something many of us don’t want to lose

Sundar Pichai

Google’s plan is to start letting smaller groups of employees return to campus, functioning at 10% capacity and 30% by September.

Take a first look at a new colorway of the sacai x Nike Vaporwaffle in a palette of “Sail/Light Bone/Game Royal/Sport Fuchsia.” This color blocking will be the fourth colorway to be revealed for the sought-after silhouette.

Sticking to the aesthetic of sacai creative director and founder Chitose Abe, this silhouette carries along the hybrid design of meshing two Nike running shoes in an almost deconstructed look. Features include double swooshes at the midfoot, two tongue tags along with dual laces of black and cream. The standout aspect, as with the previous sacai x Nike collab, is the overpowering sole that is elevated and layered with a distinctive lip at the heel.

Virgil Abloh x Jacob & Co. “Office Supplies” Jewelry

Virgil Abloh has just unveiled his latest offering of earrings and bracelets as part of his collaborative “Office Supplies” jewelry line with world-renowned jeweler to the stars, Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co. The collection will be made-to-order which replicates the look of ordinary paperclips and crafts them into 18k yellow, white or rose gold.

The bracelets and earrings are made up paperclip-looking shapes that are linked together and studded with white diamonds.

[the collection] is a concept for fine jewelry I developed and have been sitting on for a while now…It’s all cryptic & metaphoric but that’s as much of the concept as the adolescent idea of making a paperclip bracelet in grade school meets the blinding aspirational quality of a Rocafella chain. It’s my whole art practice in one object.

Virgil Abloh, via Instagram

Anyone interested in the “Office Supplies” collection may fill out a request form by emailing officesupplies@canary—yellow.com. Every order is personally reviewed and approved by Jacob Arabo and Virgil Abloh.
