Hoet&Hoet commissioned MAXIMALdesign to translate the new graphic identity for the Belgian Train station to an important piece of street furniture for “The Station”, specifically a recycle bin.

Being design enthusiasts, we visited this week the Design Biennale Interieur 2010, in Kortrijk, Belgium. The fair is a nice opportunity to enjoy the latest in furniture and lighting design. One of the booths that stood out was the one from DARK , a Belgium based lighting manufacturer known from there young and playful designs. One peculiar product caught our attention: the BB, a spotlight designed by Frank Janssens -see above for product shots-
You will find DARK at Interieur 2010 in Hall 3, booth 302

Here at the office we all love a good read. In the 17.03 edition of Wired Magazine appears an article by Scott Dadich, where he talks about design constraints, and how designers understand the power of limits. He writes that “Constraints offer an unparalleled opportunity for growth and innovation”.
Be sure to check out the examples and remember that the worse thing a designer can hear is an offhand “just do whatever you want.”
