Bucks General Store | Just another WordPress site Honestly WTF mackapär In the Mood for Design | Carnet d'inspirations // Déco, design, créations… SAPORE DEI MOBILI \\ THE PROJECT SAPORE DEI MOBILI (Furniture tasting) by Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira This project was born as a reflection about the velocity of the contemporary furniture industry and how the consumers are unable to digest the huge amount of new products launched every year. For this Salone we propose an alternative way of experiencing furniture. We present furniture pan, an object that mixes both traditional Japanese small cakes 'baby castella' with a Portuguese egg based pastry called 'ovos moles'. Using the same molding technique we created a new typology of object and at the same time a new tradition... Playing with food is now allowed. Enjoy your furniture!
Blog Design, Blog architecture, decoration design, mobilier, graphisme - Orgone Design : le blog du design contemporain Tengbom Architects est une des agences d’architecture les plus influentes en Suède, et plus généralement en Scandinavie. Tengbom ne pèse pas moins de 550 salariés répartis sur une douzaine de bureaux en Suède, en Finlande, mais également au Cambodge. Depuis 1906 (déjà), Tengbom s’efforce de combiner le design moderne et l’habitat traditionnel, avec une attention sur l’écologie et l’humanisme. C’est avec ces principes que l’agence s’est penchée sur les appartements d’étudiant, avec à la clé cette élégante boîte de seulement 10 mètres carrés, tout en bois, exposée au Musée d’Art Virserum dans le comté de Småland, en Suède. Cet appartement est donc conçu pour être très abordable, respectueux de l’environnement et intelligent dans sa façon d’utiliser des matériaux.

ilovequeencharlotte Why Good Enough Is Better: Lessons In Simplicity From Emerging Markets We began exploring the concept of “good enough” in product and service development while conducting field research on grassroots entrepreneurs and innovative enterprises in emerging markets like India a few years ago. We found that innovators in these markets use a unique approach to innovation that starts by upending assumptions and asking fundamental, rather than incremental "what if" questions when developing a new product, service, or business model. Asking these fundamental questions, we learned, often leads to simple and focused design of a “good enough” solution--an affordable product or service that effectively meets the basic needs of hundreds of thousands of customers in emerging markets. Many of these resourceful innovators use jugaad, a Hindi word that roughly translates as "an improvised solution borne from ingenuity that addresses a pressing socio-economic problem." In developed economies, the “bigger is better” approach to innovation has dominated for years.
