Design collage - Design Festa Design Festa is the largest freestyle international Art Event held in Tokyo, Japan.

Date: May 26th, 27th, 2007 11:00-19:00 TOM FORD After leaving from Gucci & Yves Saint-Laurent, Tom Ford was awarded the André Leon Talley Lifetime Achievement Award from the Savannah College of Art and Design, was asked to be the guest editor and creative director for the February 2006 Hollywood edition of Vanity Fair, and now, he finally opened his first step-alone "Tom Ford" flagship at Madison Avenue in New York City. It is a 3-story, 8,600-sqaure- foot store with no products in the house. There is no manager or salesperson. But you can see butlers and maids. It is just like visiting Tom's luxury house in the U.K. "There is the Lucio Fontana in the entryway in stainless steel, Claude Lalanne desk and chair in the entrance, urns at the end of one room that are 1925 French, and the [plaster and marble dust] Jean Arp at the base of the staircase is mine from our London house." It is definitely a great chance to know more about this fashion icon! 4 D&L News | Design & Life minizine 5 Copyright © 1996-2007 DESIGN FESTA Ltd Photo by Nigel Parry 02. 03.

It is amazing how small it is and the integrated cup just makes your day. It is one of the smallest coffee pad machines in the world made by German domestic goods company WMF. You can place it anywhere you want, even bring it with you everywhere. It may only make one cup, but it is just as simple as having a cup of hot coffee at the touch of a button. Is it perfect for a sunny morning? (Release on June, 2007) www.wmf.com 05. RE: MUJI It is time for the second of MUJI Award International Design Competitions!

Hi hi! ok well theres Me , Ben, Shan, Ingi The Viking, Johnny, Matt and Cat plus Heskey the dog ! Designers’ Circle From A to B, from B to C; it is the world of designers; it’s designers’ circle. This time we have one of TADO's friends - Mark Graham from ilovedust. ilovedust is a UK based, young, energetic design team. Mark is kind enough to accept our interview although I only gave him 10 minutes to answer all the questions! ( That's because we know you are busy, man! XD ) Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 11 How did you start ilovedust? and why the name "ilovedust"? I started it with Ben 4 yrs ago, tired of working for people who just didn't give us a chance really. The name ilovedust was just the website name we wanted to be called Dust, but certain design agancies got a little annoyed at us as 'they owned the name .' paff!! When you started the business, how did you find your clients? or how did they find you? We beg stole and borrowed to get nice jobs, and went to many many meetings and grew from there really. What inspires you the most? Everything, theres quite a few of us now so I think we all inspire each other too. Like what you said on your web, "we have our fat little fingers in some nice pies ." Which "pie" so far do you like the most? And which "pie" do you want the most now? We want the TV Commercial Pie with Guiness and Beef, its a lovely looking pie ! We saw the boat design you did for HUGO BOSS! That is awesome! It's pretty different than your other jobs! Could you tell us a little bit about this project? Oh man in 10 mins??? it was a great project to work on, we had NO idea how in depth it was but it was a very different way of working , but turned out looking like the Darth Vadar of the boat world. Perfect. 10 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 13 Tell us a little bit of your life. Where do you live? Where is your favorite place in the city? Why? I live in the seaside town of Southsea, its right on the southcoast of England. I like going to the beach with my dog Heskey and letting him swim in the ocean until he wants to go home. A lot of people wish to work in different cities; traveling around the world, and work around the world. You must have been to a lot of places. Which city is your favorite? Why? Lately i have travel a huge, huge amount and mostly in the US, L.A, NYC. I really love NYC because i have some really great friends out there now, people i will know for life. My great friend Nichole works for Kid Robot and our studio and the Tado folk and Jon Burgerman are doing a show in San Fran with her, I have been there once and loved it so I cant wait to go back . 14 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 15 What do you do in your leisure time? Cook, east, drink , go for walks, watch football, design stupid things that have no meaning , wander aimlessly around supermarkets looking at packaging . you know the normal kinda stuff :) Do you love food? Do you cook? What is your comfort food? ahaha yes indeed i do i LOVE to cook, I wanted to be a chef but my Nan told me i was better at drawing !! My comfort food is Macaroni cheese or Fish Finger sandwiches, but I do love cooking Mexican, i have been trying to master making proper slsa and sauces to use. What kind of music do you like? Any favorite band or singer? oh god i cant say !!! its to hard i love so many right now I'm listing the the Beastie Boys alot again and The Beatles. odd mix i know. If there is a chance for you to design a restaurant, what kind of restaurant will it be? How will it be decorated? Ioh god!! thats a dreeaaaaaaaaammmm job! Simple food, lovely location, top quality ingredients and classic movies from the 70's playing on Sunday mornings with hangover cures and a good british fry up. and The Beatles. odd mix i know. 16 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 17 What does Design & Life mean to you?? shit! thats a very hard question I am not sure how to answer that. I love what i do and its very important to me, it easily has become part of my life, for better and for worse, for richer and poorer. I hope doing what we do means i get to experience lots of wonderful things in amazing places. 18 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 19 It's TADO introduced you to us!
