In Bali for already 2 weeks... So much creative here... In fact, if you check Bali culture history, peoples are creative becuase it makes the goods happy... Everybody seems to be able to do something with his hands here... And I am founding very creative peoples that really inspire sme for new products... Hope I have the time to do all I want to explore... Here come some images to let you imagine how it is here... I am working on Mr-Cup creative tools, as it is easy here... Cards, hang tags...
This was my home/office during some days... but we had to change ! As you can see, it as a nice view on the fields but no wall... It is hot enough here to have no walls, but it is also open to all bugs, spiders and snakes ! We see very big spiders, my daughter was so scared... but local people explain they are not dangerous, we just need to be aware of green snakes ;)
Bangkok Phranakorn Nornlen Hotel
After that, we took a cab to go outside the city, in another flea market... so much things to see with 40°...
We are now on the Koh Lanta island, well known of french readers for the TV show of the same name (the french version of the Survivor broadcast... but it is different from what you see on TV when you are guest in a nice hotel and have a wifi access... White sands beach and coconuts trees, this is where I will work this week !
Back on april 23th, last monday... Nico & Landry, my best Thai-French friends (you become friends eve, quicker than on facebook when you share amazing things), bring me to "Press a card" letterpress studio. As in a lot of country, letterpress in Bangkok is used to very uncreative things... But Zoom want to change that, and he used the workshop of his ant to learn how to print his own projects... He instal his nice design studio in one of the room and was happy to show us the amazing printing studio and its fascinating Thaï letters drawers...
Zoom also show use its projects. Strangly, he told us he has now way to do polymer shapes in Thaïlande, the reason why the still use metalic ones... They look nicer, but I guess it is more complicate... Anyway, here come some of his projects, some done by other Bangkok designers (like Tap at www.farmgroup.co.th that I finaly can't met as we planned).
