This morning we pull a quick, but fitting piece from the always learning and adventuring Lollyspin.

America Is Fucked, Still..

This is still by far one of my favorite design and cultural related videos ever. Aaron Draplin’s views are so in line with everything myself and our brand has stood for since the beginning. Keep pushing for quality!

A Legend On Fundamental Design

WOND3R — Wed, 09 May 2012 21:52:35 +0000

Some ‘ideal words’ from one of the men who said them first, Dieter Rams. These are some of the principles we try to remember when developing something as simple as a series of graphic images or apparel pieces for our collections each and every season.

Ladies and gentlemen, design is a popular subject today. No wonder because, in the face of increasing competition, design is often the only product differentiation that is truly discernible to the buyer.

The introduction of good design is needed for a company to be successful. However, our definition of success may be different to yours. Striving for good design is of social importance, as it means, amongst other things, absolutely avoiding waste.

The ideas behind my work as a designer have to match with a company’s objectives. This principle applies to my work not only at Braun but also at Vitsœ. I have been working for these two companies for about 20 years and–I like to point out–only for these two companies.

I am convinced that design–at least in the terms I understand it–cannot be performed by someone outside the company. I am absolutely convinced that this is true if products are designed as part of a larger system, like we do at Vitsœ.

In 1957 I began to develop a storage system that formed the basis of the company Vitsœ, which was founded in 1959. Thus the ideology behind my design is engrained within the company.

I am convinced that a well-thought-out design is decisive to the quality of a product. A poorly designed product is not only uglier than a well-designed one but it is of less value and use. Worst of all it might be intrusive. The development and changes that we have initiated with our work at Vitsœ are, I believe, positive for the development of good design as a whole.

The introduction of good design is needed for a company to be successful. However, our definition of success may be different to yours. Striving for good design is of social importance as it means, amongst other things, absolutely avoiding waste.

What is good design? Product design is the total configuration of a product: its form, color, material, and construction. The product must serve its intended purpose efficiently.

A designer who wants to achieve good design must not regard himself as an artist who, according to taste and aesthetics, is merely dressing up products with a last-minute garment. The designer must be the gestaltingenieur or creative engineer. They synthesize the completed product from the various elements that make up its design. Their work is largely rational, meaning that aesthetic decisions are justified by an understanding of the product’s purpose.

I am convinced that people have an interest in what we are doing at Vitsœ since our products are useful; I expect they also appreciate the aesthetic that follows. These qualities are the result of progressive and intelligent problem solving. Functionality must be at the center of good design.

A product must be functional in itself but it also must function as part of a wider system: the home. Vitsœ’s 606 Universal Shelving System is successful due to its high functionality and its ability to adapt to any environment. Vitsœ’s furniture does not shout; it performs its function in relative anonymity alongside furniture from any designer and in homes from any era. We make the effort to produce products like this for the intelligent and responsible users–not consumers–who consciously select products that they can really use. Good design must be able to coexist.

A few weeks back I met up with one of the craziest and most talented individuals I know, not to mention a best friend – Liam McWilliams. He was finishing up a day on a wall in Chelsea painting with an awesome old wall painter named Art. That day AP was up on the rig with them recording video and asking questions. Check it out!

This time last year (Memorial Day weekend to be exact) I randomly had the opportunity to pack a bag and hop on a flight directly to Berlin after being inspired by a few individuals. I had been turned on to MADE only a few weeks prior, but drafted no plans to journey to Berlin in the near future. The group had inspired me, they’d done so to such a degree that I went through the weeks just thinking to myself, “I need to go to this place.” I contacted them and received a kind response saying that I’d be plenty welcome to visit the studio/gallery space. Long story short, I made it there and wasn’t let down in any way. The last year has been a very full one and I haven’t let the idea go, “I will be part of MADE.” I believe this is one of the many elements that continues to keep me powering forward, even when I may not be thinking about this specific group. Their latest project has done nothing more than ramp up those passions. This is Future Self.

J.Kim’s Kaldi Coffee Experience

WOND3R — Tue, 08 May 2012 13:02:29 +0000

Our awesome and wise friend Justin Kim reports from his adventures in South Korea through these shots of local coffee culture.

Mr. Seo Duk Sik of Kaldi Coffee is one of the few, if not only, coffee roasters in Korea using charcoal (instead of gas) to roast coffee beans. It’s a more traditional, labor-intensive method that he traveled to Japan to study. The result of his efforts, encompassing over 30 years of experience, is a rich, complex, deeply intense flavor and aroma that sets his roasts apart from the rest. The original flagship operation is located in Heyri Art Village, but there is also a Hongdae location where they charcoal roast as well.
