What an amazing Journey: From the idea, to make a kinetic, expandable luminaire; through a lot of prototypes playing with arabesques and geometry; to the presentation at Studio North at the Interior Design Show Toronto and at Wanted design Manhattan/part of the NYC design week, as TRANSFORMA; winning the European product design award in Gold; finding the manufacturer BETACALCO; development and tooling for aluminum parts; to the launch of STARBURST!!!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPED ON THIS JOURNEY! Special thanks to Betacalco and to IDS!! Thank you Shelley!!!

This picture was taken with his "infamous" Polaroid camera (staying positive: no negatives, haha).
+++ Who would you like to talk with right now? #aiweiwei, #jacobantonidesign, #polaroid, #neversorry, #thinkingbig #visionary, #design, #international, #global, #famous, #star, #creative, #art, #architecture, #artist, #talk, #inspiring, #foto, #photographie, #Kunst, #Kuenstler, #berlin,  IDS - the online version gives you access, to me it feels more like a bunch of cold calls, and I miss the personal touch of a fair, but lets hope the new times also enable more digital, but real connections! - The event is also bravely live!

The "good old days"-boat is sinking, and we have work to do!

  Visiting IDS west in Vancouver, having a great weekend.
Picture taken in the Paola Lenti Pavilion #idswest, #idsvancouver #designshow #colourfull #yellow Honoured to have been part of this international Grand Jury for the A´Design Award. It was an amazing experience to catch a glimpse of so many new works and talented designers.   When working on ideas and concepts I mostly start with pen and paper. For me it´s still the fastest way to keep up with my train of thought. Bouncing ideas through sketching, lots of changes, variations… JUST STARTING! Not being held up by having to start a computer, a drawing program, a text window, a 3D-section, etc. – I also like that paper keeps every old version alive, and that paper and cardboard are great for fast modeling! Of course, I use the computer too, when making prototypes and products, but mostly the computer comes in later, when the concept is more defined, for working through the details. I developed my TRANSFORMA lamp with just some paper sketches, a little geometry, and some cardboard mock up. Then I created the final lamp in the workshop with some jigs; when the manufacturer asked for the drawings I even had to make some!
How do YOU start your project? Share YOUR first step! #sketching #prototyping #paper #pen #cardboard #productdesign #industrialdesign #trainofthought #conceptdevelopment  Sure, one needs input and exercise to create, enough time to test and experiment with new ideas so they can develop, and clearly a comprehensive working method to really create awesome stuff—but in my opinion one also needs that spark somewhere in the process: the promise that something will be greater than the sum of its parts. Do you agree? What is your experience?
Yesterday, a new idea arrived in the middle of a dream, and I rushed out of bed to find pen and paper to sketch it out before it slipped away. Today, the work of producing this new idea in full begins. #idea #inspiration #workinprogress #productdesign #industrialdesign #creating #sharing #ideas #designconcept #conceptdevelopment  My lamp design TRANSFORMA just was awarded the European Product Design Award in Gold among other amazing designs! - Wow, I feel very honoured to be part of that community. Thank you to all the people helping me: Shelley, Yulia, Dima, Art, Spencer, Sam and many others! Thank you to Beta-Calco, who will build this lamp.
