Reflection About The World’s First 100 Percent Recycled Bicycle
It started with that idea cliche: a flash of inspiration. That unparalleled moment when an idea comes to you fully formed and begging to be followed. In this case, that meant finding out how to start a company, research and secure trademarks and design, fabricate and market bikes. I was looking at a reusable grocery [...]
Meet Wilfrid Wood – A Sculptor: I have to restrain myself very deliberately from staring at people on the street and especially on public transport.
How would you best describe what you do to people? I make heads and figures. Why is Justin Bieber naked? There’s something unsettling about child stars, an awful sense of a tragedy about to unfold. Drugs, booze, money, failure. Sooner or later they keel over under the pressure. I wanted to reveal a furtive and [...]
Meet Rohan Gunatillake – Buddhify Meditation Mobile App. Innovator : Too often when looking to make change in the world, we tend to ignore our inner worlds and focus only on the outer
Buddhify is the world’s first mass market modern meditation mobile app. It is available for iPhone and Android platforms. On Design: What organisations or traditional institutions want isn’t necessarily what people want and so focussing more on the needs of real humans rather than trying to fill holes in a balance sheet is what good [...]
Meet Vesna Pesic – A Milliner: I would like to see someone who feels empowered by wearing it and is an art lover who appreciates craftsmanship.
How did you come up with Poetry In Pose collection? Poetry in Pose is based on principles of poetry, symbolism and abstract art. Most influential artists for this collection were Brancusi, Pevsner, Kapoor and Serra. This collection questions who we are: do the illusions that we create then create us? What is it that we want [...]
Meet Pia Wüstenberg – Product Designer: I like to observe how people use things, and this often triggers thought.
What’s your design philosophy? My design philosophy is to remain curious. I try to see something new or scope for invention in the familiar. I have a huge fascination with materials and making, and enjoy combining processes and unusual material combinations or applications. My aim is to make the person using the object happy, as much as [...]
Meet Ellen McGrath – Luxury Stationery Designer: I don’t think you can be a truly great designer without knowledge of production, because you don’t know all the things you can achieve.
When did you realise you wanted to design products for a living? I pretty much fell into this profession. When I graduated I was really unsure what to do, but I was painting a lot (which I love) and as a quick money spinner I did some illustrations and put them on filofax sheets. I [...]
Meet Suky Best – Visual Artist: One of the things I like about the studio complex is everyone’s studio feels totally different, and they even smell different.
Suky Best is a visual artist living in London. Currently she teaches Photoshop classes at Artupdate Learning. Suky has been using Photoshop as long as she can remember. She has also taught Illustrator at Central Saint Martins for a number of years. A lot of artists and designers can’t work without having a studio is [...]
Artupdate Learning Talks To Sebastian Tarek about The Craft Of Making Old Fashioned Shoes And Why He’s Cautious About Vegan Materials
When did your fascination with shoes begin? I first considered becoming a shoemaker when I saw “hans Christian Anderson”, the Danny Kay film. I decided that roaming the country side telling tales, making shoes seemed like a nice life. It was later revealed to me that I was from a long line of shoemakers, skipped [...]
Watch Frank Höhne Illustrates In His Studio
It’s this combination of idiosyncratic humor, refreshingly childlike spontaneity, and down-to-earth nature that has allowed Höhne to quickly establish himself as one of Germany’s leading illustrators, with clients including BMW Mini, Nike, Aveda, as well as a broad range of German newspapers and magazines. Höhne’s first monograph, The Book of Bock, is now avaialbe from [...]
