4th floor action!

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

We moved office on Monday, not too far mind - Just upstairs to the fourth floor of the biscuit building. The new space must be about 3/4 times the size of our old space down on the third floor, not surprisingly we are loving every minute of the new space!

Have a gander at Tom’s flickr set documenting the development our new home.

Interaction Design Christmas Book List

Friday, December 1st, 2006

Designing Interactions

Amazon UK : Designing Interactions No boobs here dom. :p
One of those interesting, quite chunky, coffee table/lounge books to dip in and out of. Featuring in depth interviews with the pioneers of todays interaction design scene (if you can call it a scene). I flicked through Paul Atkinson’s copy last week. Youll, see him referenced very early on, and fully credited in the endnotes, as well as 10’s of interesting products and interactive projects you should already know about. This book is fresh from the MIT press and even features Maeda’s Laws of Simplicity. (his site is down)
Analogue In Digital Out

This mention is actually long overdue, shame on you Simon.
This is a book by Brendan Dawes (mN, brendandawes) with its own site at http://aido.brendandawes.com

Fascinating very readable insightful book about the creative process without the fakery of making intelligent observations and statements have to sound academic. My current copy is with a final year student. and I dont think he’ll bring it back, I’m ordering my second. I admit, Brendan has graciously spared me a sidenote..but Id still be raving about this book if he hadn’t.

Corian ribbons in Rome

Friday, December 1st, 2006

I really like Fabio Novembre’s new corian ribbon fuelled design concept for the interiors of American shoe brand ‘Stuart Weitzman’ Flagship stores. I remember Cheets telling me all about Corian once, as he used it to produce his toaster, although I can’t really remember anything he said to be honest!

More pictures here of the shop interior here.
