We are using a lot of beautiful things every day. Once we understand how beautiful they are, the life is becoming better and more interesting… and when not… well, then they still make our life more interesting! There are some truly beautiful things to make our life a little bit more unusual and vivid. Most of them are quite usual but they can make our life and the lives of people around us a little bit more spectacular. The question is: do we need these things? – Of course we do!

Introducing Diana Lin Design @ YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/DianaLinDesign
This well be the place where we upload videos... yes, I know it is obvious enough. However, we will try to make it fun! As much as we can anyways. Not only will we share videos of the technicality's of d°light Huggable (such as how to insert batteries and use the power adapter), but also some fun party videos! Including when our designers and COO get party happy.

There will also be videos of how others think of our d°light huggables. We try to collect as many as we can find. So if you have any fun videos of d°light or of the events we've been to, please let us know. We would love to add it to our collections!

Here's a preview... video of the team at ICFF:

On TV - The Gadget Show!



About a month or two ago, an assistant producer Dionne South from The Gadget Show, Britain’s leading consumer technology programme aired on FIVE in the United Kingdom, e-mailed us regarding an opportunity of being featured on their show. They wanted to do an episode on ‘Lighting’ features and thought our d°light Huggable is a unique product and will generate a lot of interest with their viewers. We of course jumped at a chance to be shown on TV and DHL Expressed a d°light Huggable to UK !! We think it was worth the high shipping fees. After a week or so Dionne got back to us and said, "programme has aired and I think it went very well. I have asked post production to get me a copy of the disc so I can send it to you." We are still waiting for that disc... but here's a web page with their Focus Group - Light Gadgets - Series 9, week 4 - 30/6/08 .


PS. If anyone knows how to get a copy of the show (I know sometimes you can find them on the wonders of Internet) please let us know. We can be discrete, just e-mail to info@dianalindesign.com. Thanks ;)
