What You got?
Posted by: Keech on 14th Oct 2009 in Opinion
Products are everywhere. Branded products, designed by designers and made by manufacturers. We love them dearly, lavish our hard-earned money on them, and keep them like fetishes or talismans in our houses, in our pockets, and (in some cases) in the bedside cabinet. They range from objects of worship to highly sophisticated tools without which our life would be difficult.
So what you got? What products do you own that you cannot live without, or that you simply adore for the sheer sake of it? If you take a pen and write down the first five that come to mind, it's a fair bet that they are your true faves. Here are mine...

Design For Life
Posted by: Keech on 7th Oct 2009 in Opinion
This is the BBC reality TV show on design that everyone seems to be taking about, with design superstar Philippe Starck taking the role of Big Brother. I'll assume you've seen it, but if not be sure to catch previous episodes at BBC iPlayer. If you don't know what it's all about then here's the concept in the BBC's own words:
BBC Two and Philippe Starck are teaming up for a brand new TV series to find the next great British designer. Internationally renowned designer Starck will be heading up a specially created School of Design in Paris. Ten aspiring designers with the talent, drive and vision to create the next 'must have' products of the 21st Century will be given the unique opportunity to learn and work alongside Starck and his team over a period of several months.
To add to that there is the tired old format of gradual elimination and winner takes all at the end. By the way, one of the candidates had designed an innovative cork-screw coffin, so technically that's Design For Death, but we won't split hairs.
