 Designboost 2008After last years success with participants from around the globe Designboost will now be back for the second annual edition on October 15-17, the vision of the event being "sharing design knowledge".This years main theme will be The Sustainable City and among the speakers are lifestyle guru Ilse Crawford, architect Bjarke Ingels and designer Ilkka Suppanen. "The sustainable city is all about how we build houses, roads and parks. How we consume and translocate. How we live and educate ourselves. In shorter terms - how to, in the best way, create a sustainable city for a good life," says David Carlson, one of Designboost's founders. At the main event Designboost will carry out thirty workshops for especially invited participants at the two top floors of the Turning Torso building. The thought being that ideas with a holistic point of view on design and the sustainable city will de debated, exchanged and tried. Twenty interesting lectures will be given on the subject of the sustainable city at Malmö University, as well as an exhibition visualizing those ideas. "We can shape our surrounding world and our future with the help of design. With design we can shape the society of tomorrow.

 Robert Radi Celebrates 15 Years of Product Design and DevelopmentRobert Radi, an award-winning designer based in Beverly Hills, California, has reached a new career milestone today: 15 years of product design and development done right.Radi still approaches every new Project with the same enthusiasm and ambition that set him apart fifteen years ago and landed him the first Product Design Account. "I offer the constant striving to create a product that is best suited to the client, the market, and the consumer" said Radi. "In order to do that, we try to understand the entire context for the design, from its place in a company's brand strategy to its tooling in the factory to its future role in a consumer's everyday life. By incorporating these elements into the design process, we are able to produce work that is relevant, intelligent, and, of course, aesthetically pleasing." Radi is best known for some of his most commercially successful designs-including Personal Microdermabrasion and Consumer Product projects -- that have collectively generated more than $200 million in sales. more Robert Radi Celebrates 15 Years of Product Design and Development design directory Radi Design: Robert Radi > Industrial Design Studios design database Robert Radi added by Levent OZLER |
