吉行良平と仕事 | Ryohei Yoshiyuki to job.

These are levels live in your life.
In Japan, we live with this stool. Dining, garden, school…it is ubiquitous. I remember my grandmother used it at her sewing machine. For us, it is more than an ordinary stool.
“your level stool” is born from this fact of our life.
I sit on it.
Sometimes it is a small table for my coffee. Sometimes my little cat sleeps on it in the sun.
Then level comes back again.
They are all in different levels, but they are all your Levels.

SuperMarketo is now DesignMarketo

SuperMarketo is a platform for the diffusion and promotion
of fresh-ground-breaking-up-and-coming designers and their own production.
We are based in London, but we like to think we are actively working everywhere.
We organise events like FoodMarketo and have a shop online: DesignMarketo.

We believe in the value of small series of objects designed and crafted/produced with love and pride by talented friends. We would like them to reach an audience as large as possible and this is the reason why you are reading those lines. We hope you will enjoy the few objects we selected and also the people behind them.

Supermarketo is now open

When did you last see a well-designed Web site? One that wasn’t just great to look at, but so easy to use that you found what you wanted effortlessly? And when did you last grumble about a badly designed site having spent far too long trying – and failing – to find something? I’d love to think that there’d be more enthusiastic answers to the first question, than grouchy responses to the second. But sadly for the millions of us who waste so much time struggling to extract information from the Web, it’s bound to be the other way around. The blunt truth is that far from being visually pleasing, intelligently organized and simple to use, too many Web sites are ugly, cluttered, sluggish and brain-fuddlingly difficult to navigate.

Conran Inspirations

This September the Conran Shop will premiere its specially commissioned Inspirations Collection.

As an homage to Terence Conran the shop commissioned a number of designers from the UK, France, Germany, Mexico, South Africa and Italy to create a line of products inspired by Conran himself.

Rooted in the themes of Stafford Cliff’s new book ‘Inspirations’, which looks at the ideas and pieces which have inspired Terence Conran throughout his illustrious career, the collection will comprise a diverse range of objects from designers including Martino Gamper, Michael Marriott and Bill Amberg.

Each project offers an interpretation of one of Terence Conran’s main inspirations, resulting in an exciting collection of works, each with an interesting story behind it.
