need more drawers??
Everyone is always on the look-out for well designed storage, so the Collect chest of drawers from Wis Design really jumps out. Offering fifteen or eighteen drawers, Collect is a tidy way to cut clutter. The Bill shelving by Jacob Brinck for Llot Llov is another such option. The idea behind this system is that we usually use the storage space of a shelf the way we use boxes, so why not design them as such? The stackable units combine both ideas of shelf and box to hide most of the mess we tend to create. Entrance storage from Schönbuch offers a tidy greeting, and the enclosed work station from Atelier van Lieshout allows for privacy and a chance to get away from it all. Self-storage, in a way.
Visvim new line...
Visvim is a Japanese shoe and clothing line run by creative director Hiroki Nakamura. The goal of the line is to provide high quality shoes and products that conform to both design and environmental standards set by Nakamura.
Visvim was founded by Hiroki Nakamura, a Kofu, Japan born designer who grew in Tokyo. Having spent a great deal of his life traveling, Nakamura still calls his home Tokyo. His design education was not formal in many ways, but after spending eight years working with Burton Snowboards, Nakamura had a good idea of the kind of company he wanted to start in terms of ethics and production quality.
Because VisVam was a small brand to start, Nakamura’s approach has always been to work through collaborations and to provide his voice to as many publications as request. As such, he has appeared in more than 25 separate interviews with world press since the brand launched, sharing his vision while competing against larger companies that are much better established in the market.
