Common as it may seem, this is one of those very amazing creation out of industrial production line. Check out this video to see how your common globes are made.

The exhibition tries to illustrate the possibility of telling a story using various means of visual perception to convey one unified message. It was conceived for the first annual Ploy Saeng exhibition organized by TCDC to showcase local talented designers.

There are 3 steps in experiencing the exhibition. Step 1, an observer look at a curious 3D object suspending in mid air in the center of the display box. The message asks the observer to look for a connection of this object to the Moon, as the subject of this exhibition. Step 2, the observer presses the button to turn of the light. The shadow with the size and configuration of a moon then appears on the surface of the display box. Step 3, the message asks the observer to use flash light to look for hidden messages within the shadow of the moon.

Within the shadow of the moon, there are markings of the landing spots which man had landed on the surface of the moon.

Sound tube installation is coming together quite good. Here is a first in the series of 5 tubes to be installed on site next month. We like the strength and the proportion. It will look great with a coat of paint.

Late Wed night at TCDC, 2 days before the opening.

We have put together a small exhibition about “Moon” at Ploy Saeng, TCDC 2008 this coming Friday. Be there for a little entertainment from Apartment Khun Pa, and see our little installation.

A nice project by from Blacksheep Interior Architects and Design for Inamo Restaurant. Soon enough, we will see more and more of this kind of project coming.

See more of the project here.

It was quite a delightful experience sitting in the auditorium listening to Mark going over his projects. It’s just very refreshing, because working here in Bangkok, we are very much drown in the excess of style. More is always the solution required by the clients. But in most cases, that turned out to be untrue.

By subtracting all the excessive elements from a design, it really makes one appreciate the work in a deeper sense. One just has to look at the work more intensely to derive more out of it. I see this as a way to make good use of design resources that are today being spent without true significant. Lots of projects that are being done today, can possibly get away with far less ideas without sacrificing anything. Spending our ideas in such wasteful fashion will one day bankrupt us all in a big way.

More work is good for the business, and certainly better for the portfolio. But indecisive clients? Uninteresting work that you want to chuck in the garage after you’ve finished? Think again. I think before going out to save our planet by wasting natural resources, we might as well save ourselves from spending our ideas unwisedly for those who do not really need it, and put it in the bank for better work and better client ahead.
