A’ Design Awards & Competition 2013 – Call for Submissions

In my interview with Yves Béhar, he told me that taking part in design competitions is a good thing for designers from two perspectives. One, you get to measure yourself in comparison to others from the same stream and two, you get evaluated by creditable people from the industry and thus your claim to fame is a validated one. This and many other reasons make it important for you as a designers to consider taking part in the 2013 A’ Design Awards & Competition.

The Power Of Musical Resonance And Décor

There is a reason why they say that music is a universal language that transcends all boundaries. It is powerful enough to break all barriers and yet potent enough to create the most memorable moments of our lives. For example, how many of you have that ‘our song’ with the one you love? Now imagine converting the intensity of that music into Spectrum Decor Artwork or maybe a recorded ‘I Love You’ sound waves for Resonant Decor!

2013 Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

In about two week’s time you will be gearing up to spend some quality time with the love of your life and get all mushy and romantic. Just so you know, life is not all about Prada and Jimmy Choo shoes; sometimes a thoughtful gesture is good enough to warm cold hearts. To help you pick the right kinda gift, I’ve put together a selection of ideas that are very design-centric and yet personalized. Let’s say cheers to the season of love!

The Cirrus Blend

Be honest, are you still eyeing that perfectly shaped ice ball or imaginatively savoring the drink? I’m doing both; there is nothing better than enjoying my favorite Scotch poured on the rocks…or wait, on this ice ball! To savor the taste of great whiskey (or spirit) is to have it with minimal dilution. Typical ice cubes melt faster than a sphere, which is why at most high-end dos you’ll find the bar serving drinks with a sphere of ice. The Cirrus Press ice ball maker is just for that.

Imagine hauling the device in an oversized jacket, which completely defeats the purpose of a mini, right? Maybe this is why the iFace First Class Case is best suited for your precious Apple delight. Crafted from quality polyurethane, the case offers sturdy protection and grip while your browse through the tablet.

Reclaimed Wood For A Better Watch

“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” I love this tagline and the simple truth behind it. Essentially this is a direct lift from WeWOOD Watches and they are compelling me to think about what I can do for my planet, even if it’s through Product Design. Sure, haute horology is something everyone craves, but how many can truly say that what they are wearing is something that reminds us of a tree’s powerful way of life; rooted, yet reaching.
