"21_21 DESIGN SIGHT" is a design facility to be established in Roppongi, Tokyo, which means to see beyond today and into the future. It is a place to share views and ideas with not only designers but also consumers. The directors include Issey Miyake, Taku Satoh, Naoto Fukasawa, and Noriko Kawakami. With the building designed by Tadao Ando, there is one more landmark for people to visit in Japan! “21_21 DESIGN SIGHT” is going to open on March 30, 2007. www.2121designsight.jp 03. Rose for men Le labo is a perfumery located in Manhattan, NY. Just opened in 2006, Le labo has quickly became popular in Big Apple. With old-school French traditions, you can find Le labo has inspirations from modern New York, too. Rose 31, which recently was chosen by Wallpaper magazine as the best fragrance, is actually among the men's collection. It perfectly interprets the modern appearance of rose! www.lelabofragrances.com 8 9 Please introduce yourself. Hello! My name is Rilla Alexander and I am a member of art and design collective, Rinzen. We are 5 people who fill our days with drawing, music, sewing and rainbows. 8 Designer's Circle | Design & Life minizine 9 Designers’ Circle From A to B, from B to C; it is the world of designers; it’s designers’ circle. Rilla Alexander issue 01 Designer's Circle | Design & Life minizine 10 11 10 11 Where do you live & how is the city? I am originally from Australia, however am currently living in Berlin. Coming from a hot country, it is quite fun to experience the full range of seasons - especially "proper" winters filled with snow. What project are you working on? Right now we are working on a project for Puma, designing a chair for Upper Playground and 5 minutes ago we committed to doing a show in Madrid during the summer. 12 13 What kind of music do you like? Who is your favorite singer or band? My favourite music is sweet and folky . like Feist and Múm. What is your comfort food? Could you describe how to cook it? I love bircher muesili - the swiss muesili soaked in yoghurt filled with lots of delicious berries. I like to eat cereal all day long. What is the most exciting project you've done? I would have to say that it is the Neighbourhood project which has just been released as a book published by Victionary in Hong Kong. It is a hand- made toy remix project which we played with 40 artists from around the world such as Friends with you, Devilrobots, Shynola and Nathan Jurevicius. In keeping with the concept of reworking and remaking we also held a workshop as part of the Pictoplasma conference in Berlin where people had the chance to make their own toys and to rework other peoples. It was an incredible experience. What do you usually do in your leisure time? I enjoy hunting for Scandinavian ceramics, furniture and other design treasures. I also love visiting second hand bookstores filled with East European and Russian children's books. Oh, and I LOVE sleeping. Could you introduce one of your favorite restaurants or Cafe in your city? One of the most "Berlin" restaurants is called the Winerei. Not only does it have a wonderful atmos- phere but at the end of the night you decide how much you feel you should pay (as there are no prices). 12 Designer's Circle | Design & Life minizine 13 If you have 1 month vacation, where do you want to spend? Why? There are so many places in the world I am dying to explore - we have never been to South America or Canada - and there are still so many European countries we have never visited either. But I would also like to spend a month at home with my mother and sisters, sewing and talking. Which album do you recommend? Despite what I said before, I listen to one album nearly every day .that is Back in Black by AC/DC. I run to it! You have involved in many different fields: web design, graphics, typeface, fashion, interior What do you want to design next? Since I am so obsessed with ceramics and textiles right now I think they will be my next thing! Which city do you like the most? Why? I really can't commit to one - Berlin, Tokyo, London, New York. They are all so different and are filled with so much creativity and inspiration. But I also like visiting little European towns - especially ones with castles. What does design & life mean to you? Sometimes I am so wrapped up in design that I don't have a life! But you know I really do love it. 14 Designer's Circle | Design & Life minizine 15 This section is designer's circle. We hope you can introduce one of your friends who is a designer, and will be interviewed in the next issue! Could you introduce him(her) a little bit ? I would like to introduce my friend Nathan Jurevicius who you would know as the creator of Scarygirl. He designs the most wonderful characters, stories and toys and has some projects underway that are hard to believe! 16 Designer's Circle | Design & Life minizine 17 next on Designers' Circle : Nathan Jurevicius The Moment There are a lot of moments in one's life.
