Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately. Flipboard has been keeping me a little busy. I'll try to work something out here soon, but in the meantime, you might want to say hello on Twitter, browse through a few photos here or peek into what it is like designing Flipboard.

news / Interactive Interior exhibition

Interactive Interior exhibition

Old news, but I thought it was worth mentioning. During the first 2 weeks of the opening of the first physical Beyes shop at the recently finished Omotesando Hills in Tokyo, we held a small exhibition together with nanika, wowlab+wildcard,Takashi Kamada and semitransparent design. Produced and curated by Koichiro Tanaka. I had a great time creating one of the pieces that was cycled among the others every day. Although the exhibition is officially over now, the installations are still being rotated every day in the store, so if you happen to be in the area, be sure to check it out.
