Love Design Cocktail Party

"Love Design is a project that explores the multifaceted relationship between design and positive feelings such as affection, desire, pleasure and romance, but also ealousy, distance, separation or pain. Love Design the book presents a selection of unusual products, objects, graphics and textiles specifically designed to enhance (or distort) our pleasurable sense of togetherness in every possible and impossible way. Love Design the exhibition presents the works of 20 outstanding designers taken from the book. The selection includes new products, textiles, jewelry, lights, tableware and furniture that question the very meaning of the word 'love', the beginning and the ending of what binds us together and tears us apart. "

To celebrate the release of the book Love Design (Daab publishing ) in which d°light huggable is featured, we are cordially invited to the Love Design Cocktail Party during the design week in Milan. However, sadly to say, we will not be able to attend. So we'll like to share this invite with our friends in Milan or somewhere closer than where we are. If you do attend, please send some fun pictures back so we can feel like we were there, too!

New in The Funky Company

The Funky Company is web based store but hopes to open a retail outlet as soon as they can. Their intention is to open a store that is also a coffee shop where people can meet, socialise and see a range of interesting products all at the same time. This coffee shop/store is hope to open in Sydney, London, Birmingham and Paris.

But, before their cool "The Funky Company Cafe" opens, we have their web version first. It all started when they noticed that there are too many cool and funky gadgets and gizmo's all over the world. But it was frustrating to find where to actually buy these cool products. Therefore, a mystery man, Mr. X created The Funky Company to bring together the coolest, most trendy, sophisticated, quality and greatest products he can find. They have a catalogue that grows almost everyday. We are happy that our d°light huggable made it into their catalogue! Now all of you in Australia can get our d°light huggable easier! :)

Design und Emotion Exhibit in Badisches Landesmuseum

We were part of the Design und Emotion Exhibit in Badisches Landesmuseum in Germany last year from August to November. The exhibition was very successful! Heidrun Jecht did a fantastic job organizing the whole thing. Here's a video of her insides on the exhibition.

Aktuelles Design und große Gefühle:

Gefühle lassen sich nicht ausstellen, wohl aber Gegenstände, die diese auslösen. Die Ausstellungskuratorin Heidrun Jecht sammelte über 200 Objekte des moderenen Emotional Designs, um sie in der Ausstellung "Design + Emotion - Produkte, die Gefühle wecken" den Besucher zu präsentieren.
