People People design

in , ,

Sweden products designers are not creating new bicycles, they understand people needs and enhance products. All of their work is conceptual product design but I believe they will find a decent partners and make people happier. Now check their latest project of transparent sound system. How they designed it for people. "The transparent design lets the speaker blend in to any living room out there. The size can be big enough to offer a good sound quality, yet the speaker takes little visible space. The box is transparent, but the sound creating components are clearly emphasized."

Sagaki Keita

Sagaki Keita ruins the famous saying "Less is more" by creating illustrations of classic Ancient Greek sculpture by using a small drawing objects mostly cartoons and Japanese characters. This is kind of patient perfectionist sitting inside him.
