The 49th Degree
Posted by: Keech on 26th Mar 2009 in Keechdesign News
Working closely with Form Design & Build (as we often do) we have just completed an exciting design and fit-out contact for Isles Of Scilly clothing brand 49º. The new flagship store opened last Friday, showing that Form have once again won and delivered a great, design-led project, and are proving that the recession is not all it's cracked up to be.

Lego: The building Blocks Of Design
Training to be a professional designer starts long before university. It begins in childhood with Lego, Meccano, and felt-tip pens. Lego is a design classic on many levels - longevity being but one; as a kid I spent many an hour building visionary cars, cities and spacecraft with it, and all these years later I love to watch my own children building...visionary cars, cities and spacecraft with pretty much the same product. The joy of it is that 'toys' like Lego allow childrens' imaginations to run riot while at the same time teaching them how to construct form and how to to assemble components to make new and exciting entities.

Canon Dial 35

When you meet Japanese designers it's always wise to check what gear they have about them. Akihiro Aoki, president of Orihica was sporting this design classic. Introduced in 1963 but in terms of looks you wouldn't know it. Unusual arrangement of the meter photocells around a 28mm lens, and clockwork automatic film advance wound by the cylindrical handle at the bottom. Super cool.
