EPSON
Posted by: Keech on 31st Mar 2010 in Keechdesign News

We're delighted to be working with this well-known Japanese manufacturer of printers, projectors and scanners on a number of exciting ongoing projects.

It is interesting to note that the name Epson was derived from the idea of the company being the offspring ("son") of the EP-101, the world's smallest electronic printer (EP) which was created in 1964. To be working closely with one of the most respected and environmentally aware technology companies in the world is something we are very proud of.

From biodiversity projects in Portugal, to Digital Ice Technology, Epson have a very rich and deep approach to design, technology, the environment and social responsibility.

FIRA
Posted by: Keech on 30th Mar 2010 in Keechdesign News



We are very happy to have been asked to re-design the 110 sq.m. reception area at FIRA International's headquarters in Stevenage. It's a particularly interesting early 60s building, showing great use of pre-cast concrete and lots of exposed internal timber beams and detailing nearly all of which is still intact. It has a Scandinavian feel, and immediately reminded me in some way of Arne Jacobsen's masterpiece, St. Catherine's College at Oxford (which I was lucky enough to have been given a guided tour of by project architect Frank Lancaster, but that's another story...)

Evan Davis - accompanied by Museum Director Deyan Sudjic, and sculptor and awards judge Antony Gormley took a look at the ingenious and stylish creations.
