 Having a blast at VANCOUVER CULTURE CRAWL #Vancouver #design #longweekend #eastsideculturecrawl #culturecrawl #fieldtrip
  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.
