package design

Einpacken – Auspacken – und wieder Einpacken. Wir alle haben es täglich in irgendeiner Form mit Verpackungen zu tun. Mal sind sie funktional, mal toll gestaltet, mal innovativ und häufig auch hässlich. Letztere suchen wir natürlich nicht, sondern Eure besten realisierten und unrealisierten Verpackungen in 2D, 3D als Foto oder auch als Skizze.

Pack in- pack out- and pack in again. We all have to deal with packages in any form everyday. Sometimes they’re functional; sometimes they’re great designed, sometimes innovative and often ugly. Of course we’re not searching for that! But we want your best realized and unrealized packages in 2D, 3D, as photos or as sketches.

Le Flâneur

Le Flâneur

The flâneur’s tendency toward detached but aesthetically attuned observation has brought the term into the literature of photography, particularly street photography. The street photographer is seen as one modern extension of the urban observer described by nineteenth century journalist Victor Fournel before the advent of the hand-held camera:

This man is a roving and impassioned daguerreotype that preserves the least traces, and on which are reproduced, with their changing reflections, the course of things, the movement of the city, the multiple physiognomy of the public spirit, the confessions, antipathies, and admirations of the crowd. ("Ce qu’on voit dans les rues de Paris", What one sees on the streets of Paris)

The most notable application of flâneur to street photography probably comes from Susan Sontag in her 1977 essay, On Photography. She describes how, since the development of hand-held cameras in the early 20th century, the camera has become the tool of the flâneur:

The photographer is an armed version of the solitary walker reconnoitering, stalking, cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur finds the world ‘picturesque.’

Illustration for the dutch newspaper AD, focusing on how to be bored, but not bothered by it.
The author encourages you to accept the fact that being bored is(and should be) part of life.The article invites you to try and do nothing for a while-that includes not whatching tv, answering the phone, or sleeping.
Haven’t tried it yet;-)

Getting Office Supplies For Swedish Decorating Style

This article is about looking for the right office supply furniture and what stores to look in as well as how to plan ahead on what you want.

What To Look For In An Office Furniture Store

Many people underestimate the importance of finding the right store when shopping for office furniture. Although many don’t realize this, it’s every bit as important as when shopping for home furniture. Your office may just be a place where you work, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be comfortable. The more comfortable you are, the more productive you’ll be. This is why it’s important to find an office furniture store that has a large variety. Costs of office furniture will vary depending on quality, size and brands. You’ll usually save money when you buy a complete set of office furniture. Some people, home businesses in particular, like to do a lot of the decorating themselves. The Swedish decorating style has become quite popular. With the Swedish decorating style the largest accent is on white or light colors which make dark dreary days, especially long winter days, seem brighter. Make sure you find a good office furniture store that carries supplies you’ll need if you choose to do some of the decorating yourself.

Planning Ahead

The best way to find the right office furniture store is to know what you’re looking for and plan ahead. You need to know how much space you have for office furniture, what kind of office furniture you’re looking for and how much you have to spend. What kind of office furniture you want will depend on how you want it situated in the office. The comfort of your employees should play a large part in this planning. Many employees have to interact as part of their job, so their office furniture should be consistent with this idea.

If you have a budget, like most of us do, that will be helpful when you begin your shopping. If you’ve hired a designer, your designer will probably be getting the furniture from their own supplier. Designers are often given discounts for bringing them business. Many times designers will shop from stores of your choice if you ask them.

Find The Best Deal For Your Office

Now that you know what you are looking for and how much money you have to spend, you’re ready to go shopping for your office furniture. Make a list of all the office furniture stores in your area or nearby area. Do not go to the first store on your list and start buying. Take a notebook and camera to take pictures of pieces you like. Write down the price, material, warranty, etc. When you’ve made the rounds of all the stores, you’re ready to compare. Find the ones you like the most at the best price. Often you can strike up a dealer with the store owner on delivery as well as bulk pricing. Many times, they’ll lower the price if you buy a complete set or more than one piece of office furniture. Lastly, don’t forget to check the warranty on your products and make sure there is one.

Design your home with Swedish decorating style for perfect finish to your home.
