We will start at 16.30 at Studio Zeta, Milan, and round up at 19.00 with drinks & bites, plus a private view.
We see new ways coming into being: designers searching for new roles in between disciplines, or working as a collective combining difference knowledge, qualities and perspectives. There is new purpose.

Meet the designer as storyteller > Bas Princen interviewed by Jurgen Bey, the designer as translator > Christien Meindertsma interviewed by Joost Grootens, the designer as innovator > Dries Verbruggen, Claire Warnier interviewed by Piet Hein Eek, and a new generation of social designers.

Debbie Glassberg’s Super Shipping Container House
Posted in: Uncategorized
Industrial designer Debbie Glassberg has got, hands down, the most stylish shipping container house we’ve seen yet. Erected in Kansas City, Missouri, the five-container house was designed by Glassberg and an unnamed partner. It encompasses 2,600 square feet kept toasty by geothermal heating and is decked out with design touches throughout, as seen in this extensive slideshow, which also features construction shots.
Here’s a video on the house shot by a local news crew:
Glassberg considers the house a prototype and is aiming to create future versions for $125 per square foot.
For those with a particular interest in shipping container construction, check out Dekalb Market’s “Not Just a Container” competition: it’s down to the wire for submissions, which is just two days away, but an expert panel will select the five top finalists by April 19th, at which point the public will have the chance to vote on the winner through the end of the month.

Work/Life 2: with SPD at NYC
Posted in: Uncategorized
The primary goal of the Work/Life series is to promote the illustration talents profiled to potential clients. To that end, the book has been mailed out to a long list of designers, publishers and advertisers. Much of the list was compiled by participants listing their top ten dream clients; we researched their submissions and found contacts and addresses whenever possible. The book was also sent to major design firms and magazine / book art directors.
This Friday, Work/Life 2 will be available FREE to members of the Society of Publication Designers attending their Spring Fling in New York City. I hope that the book will make a positive impression and garner new contacts and commissions for the 100 amazing people featured in the book.
The book is designed and written to be entertaining, informative and inspiring—unique qualities when it comes to the usual illustration annual or compilation which are usually just images and contact info with not much heart and soul. Readers—whether art directors or aspiring illustrators or people interested in the creative spirit—will get to know our Work/Life illustrators on a more personal level.
