Tokyo Design Week 2009

by Eberle, Lars 1 November 2009 in Just Interesting

Tokyo Design Week, 30.10.-3.11.

Design Week is a very similar event to Design Tide, happening at the same time and focusing mainly on more established international and Japanese product design. Its main location is in Meiji Jingu Gaien, but satellites are spread around the whole city.

The Lake

Patrick Juchli presents The Lake, a sound journey for the iPhone quite unlike anything else you might have seen. All you've got is a playing card and all you can do is turn it once, twice, many times. Every time you turn the card you delve deeper into a journey to the lake.

After a sneak peak, he will talk a bit on how it all came about. How things looked more like a game at the beginning and how it ended up not being one. And of course we also want to know what's next. But first, head on to the site and have a look for yourself. Don't miss the trailer.

SmirkMasks

Masks protect, they hide or give you another personality - if you need one. Berlin based Artist/Designer Mirco Erbe aka Smirk talks about his customized fiberglass and leather Helmet/Masks, far beyond any horror or fetish pre-justice.

Jason Glade, a creative director and photographer well known for his eclectic style and unusual approach to fashion and advertising photography will talk about FreeStyleMagazine- a round magazine that fits into afrisbee. His talk will be about the creative process from idea to realization.

Tokyo Design Tide 2009

by Eberle, Lars 2 November 2009 in Just Interesting

This year, Design Tide, the Tokyo based product design show, went into its fifth year. It's been interesting following this event the past 4 years and seeing it grow from a small insider event into a very mature exhibition. This year it somehow felt like already surpassing its bigger brother, the Design Week – a similar event held at the same time.

Grace

by Schneider, Carsten 21 November 2009 in Just Interesting

Grace, the latest project of Michael Hecken, is a new type of electric bike, combining the light-weight design of a mountain bike with the performance of a scooter. Top speed is 45km/h in the street-legal version, range between 30 and 50km, and it only takes one hour to fully charge.

Grace bikes are made to order, hand-crafted in Biesenthal, just outside Berlin, where Michael also hosts the annual ART Biesenthal.

Update: Join us for an exclusive making-of presentation, December 1st, at our monthly "Talk about the Weather".

Meyer, Miller, Smith.

Head. Hands. Heart. We believe that there is a real connection between craftsmanship and communication.

As information and intelligence becomes the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: Emotions.

People want to experience beauty, enjoy one’s work, feel passion, they want to interact with each other. We all want.

That’s why we believe that the future of brands is interaction, not commodity. It’s not something you buy, but something you participate in.
