The Nissan Cube – thinking outside the box

- March 18, 2010

Love it hate it, there's no denying that the Nissan Cube will certainly get you noticed on the road. With it's Manga style looks and unique asymmetrical style it's certainly a quirky design. It's been described (rather harshly) as a "fridge on wheels", a "bonsai minivan" and a "Brinks Mat van that went into a boil wash"... First launched in Japan over ten years ago, the Cube immediately achieved a cult status and was adopted by the stylish, underground and urban set - the ‘denso’, carefree in spirit, unique in mind. It was intended to appeal to young people passionate about being individual and as a lifestyle choice, more than a car. It has gained a huge cult following within the creative sector with appearances in fashion, magazines, video and commercials, and online.

Stamp of approval for great Design

- January 23, 2009

The Royal Mail focuses again on the design industry, this time focusing on the world’s most iconic British design work of the 20th Century. The stamps were 'carefully seleced' by a panel of experts from the world of design. There are 10 special stamps: the spitfire, mini skirt, mini car, anglepoise lamp, concorde, phone box, Robin Day polyprop chair, Penguin paperback, London Underground map and the Routemaster. Looking at the ones that didn't make the final cut, it makes you proud to be involved in the UK design industry – the harrier, Britain is still a formidable force in the design industry, especially when you consider how small we are compared to the size and might of other countries. Britain still manages to create design classics today in just about every industry, from fashion to food, advertising to automotive, textiles to telecoms. Get those flags flying!
