glass half full.

first. BKNY printshop didn't offer me nearly enough money to function and pay rent so i had to turn them down - BUT i had an interview with Noted*

it was a great interview, the owner and i sat there for an hour just talking about design, objects, products, trade shows etc. the office is in DUMBO, in a beautiful building filled with artist studios and galleries. i am going back on thursday to meet the rest of the team, which is a total of four people. some of my favorite products from Noted are:

a plantarium single vile for growing greenery. they are produced by Globus, and named plantarium garden lab kits which come in different sizes, shapes and colors.

titled, doomed. one of many by saka karakuri that are moving paper constructables - all versions are so endearing.





a diorama by tatebanko which comes as a kit that you put together. they are so very simple and pretty.

these are hole-on ex make and shoot pinhole camera's. these self constructed cameras that take instantly intriguing photos with just enough distortion to look artsy without much effort. in addition, they also have a great camera facade that is somewhere between 80's shapes and colors and a toy from the future.

in general, i hope this all works out - i would love to get my creative brain juices going again, giving imput on package design and product acquisition.

keep your fingers crossed for me, more later about diana fayt
