We were incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of industrial design genius Charles Pollock on Tuesday.  Pollock is perhaps best known for redefining the landscape of the office chair by developing new concepts and production methods, most notably his patented invention of rim technology and simplicity of assembly with the Pollock Chair n 1963.  The Pollock Chair is one...

For the three days of SID in conjunction with our 2013 SID partner Yellowtrace, KE-ZU ran the #yellowzu Instagram Insta-grab competition – allowing one talented Instagrammer the chance to win a Pion table by Ionna Vautrin for Sancal.

Have you ever been to a party and thought you’d shake your groove thing, more than likely drink in hand, quite sure that you’re about to absolutely carve a mean rug? Well I have. The offending song which sparks such irrevocable behavior and provides such delight to the beholder is invariably Dee-Lite’s one-hit wonder Groove is in the Heart. And...

At the end of May we presented the Andreu World design competition as open! (see the blog post here).  The competition is now in its 13th year and the esteem held for the shortlisted and winning entries is unfathomable.  Let us remind you what we said of the prize: 3,000 Euros, together with some serious bragging notes.  Let us not...
