Japan’s Nendo Design

Cool piece about Nendo Design in the NY Times. From high design to standard form and function, the “small” design group that began in 2002 always makes a splash at design and furniture fairs. Their early works were of a different scale and budget but their works are usually fun. The article is inspiring and it makes you wish you were doing this too – and maybe you can. (NY Times – Nendo)

The early Bubble Wrap Calendar is one to remember. Imagining popping a bubble each time… Affordable and cool. That’s how a lot of design companies need to start.

Today, it’s off to the races. With Porter they make bags.

Furniture? Of course!
