Mark Goetz is the designer of the Goetz Sofa (1999) a seriously beautiful, ergonomically shaped and yet incredibly relaxed piece of contemporary furniture manufactured by Herman Miller. Mark designed many other objects, of course, and he also teaches at Pratt.
A new magazine is in the works, the creators are both from Chicago, they are Chuck Anderson of NoPattern and Marcy Capron of MarcyMarcy... and they are 18 and 17 years old respectively. The energy is there, the talent is there, we are all awaiting the first issue of New Blood, a new print magazine in which none of the contributors is going to be of the legal drinking age.
I am not quite sure what these very intelligent people are saying ahem writing, but they make really amazing references to very high places... hmm... let's observe design... wait, no... let's design... or what shall we do now?
Carbone Smolan Agency (CSA) are true masters of communication and real life information architecture. They are the ones who reinvented the way visitors see the Louvre (by developing a truly wonderful way finding system, go there and you will understand their genius), they are also the ones who reinvented Christie's brand and much, much more. This is really smart design, seriously fun. Very inspiring.
Geneviève Gauckle makes beautiful work. Some of it is slightly bizarre, some is just funny, some is just really subtle and... okay, most of it is quite wonderful...
Look at that! Stefan G Bucher is professional grade. His drawings are quite excellently executed. His design is not short of amazing. The site's navigation feels as if it were realted to some of the drawings on this very site. There are many good and hand made surprises on the site. Stefan is accepting projects I am already thinking about some I should send his way... : ) Quality made in Pasadena.
Eike König is an old friend, an extremely talented man, a guy with more experience than most of us will ever have. And he has this really incredibly talented group of people around him thus creating "Eike's design nursery"... Way to go, Eike... keep up the excellent work.
a universe of wild stuff. lotsa stuff.
Joshua Davis rawks like a wild man, out of Port Washington, New York. Keep up the great work!
Joost Korngold makes pretty much explosive stuff. Take a look at some of his minimalistic bombastic animationistics. Pretty wild remixes. Large downloads. Careful. ; )
Quite a fascinating mix of design and photography and flash. Very smooth presentation. Invites to explore. (Who is Molly?)
Simply fantastic! Go visit, now, get the wonderful shiny stuff and things and all good. Yeah.
Truly crisp and stylish and fresh work. Not only does Luc's site present his amazing work, it also contains some of the greatest and most helpful tips on topics like self promotion and portfolio and resume pitfalls. Great work, a great site.
For a better tomorrow. For a better designed tomorrow. With the team of contributors: BD4D, boy in static, Büro Destruct, C404, D5ive, DEDass, Demo, Designershock, DHKY, Elixirstudio, Famewhore, FLAT, Fluid, H73, Heavy, microbians, no-sleep, NWYH, one9ine, Phunkstudio, Presstube, Shove-it Helsinki, STUKA, Suction, Suture, tyleraskew, Vasava, WIG-01, Yugop, and a public broadcast. This site is a wicked source of links and little comments on the world we see through the eyes of designers. Good stuff.
several feeds of interesting news. Quite a fascinating source of information about things that might include design. (But do not have to, of course.)
The Australian Squirrel is the one that bites little pictures into acorns. A good source every time I visit. (Do they know?)
For a better tomorrow. Bold, up to date, several channels of info. Daily.
the homepage might not look like a lot, but it is the content that counts. Here is the company Björk trusted with her last album and who are, correct me if i am wrong, responsible for the current Calvin Kline branding campaign.
Sometimes I think this might be the only design link I need. The site has not been updated for a while now, but the sheer amount of high quality links makes it a perfect destination for any design friend.
Designers for designers. Do I need to say more? A great source for good things, international style.
sometimes one needs to cut (and paste) in order to heal.
but certainly. my pleasure.
As we continue our journey through the World Wide Web, please note that there is some really high quality activity down-under. Please direct your attention to the Australian Illustrator Nathan Jurevicius and his fun packed site. Some of the illustrations and animations scare me a little bit, there are some however that made me laugh. Enjoy the preparation to battle by Tepozton the skater. (We hope to soon see him battle the evil giant.) Nathan has a wicked little site. Check it out!
Not quite sure yet where Michael Eades, the creator of this cool site is from, but I am sure I will find out soon, and then there will be more information here. Until then, please visit this great site, you might find things I did not. Great work.
Jarrett Kertesz is the editor in chief and actually the creator of this very personal high quality online design publication. Fresh every month, but fresh enough to keep me coming back several times a week. Great work.
very saturated good stuff. Flash and more. ©2001

Yeah baby! Iron Baby!... Heavy duty, funny, cool design. Check out the intros and the soundtracks. Like it.
A wonderful little company doing some really interesting projects. Check out the Brunswick Project if you are there during November 2002. Hyperkit is run by a boy and a girl. And as always when I come across these constellations I am curious how these people manage to do. BF and GF? Or just good friends. In any case, here's a lovely and lively little hyperkit.

YoungGuns International Advertising & Design Award. Wild advertising by freshly brewed brains. Check out past winners to detect future winners.
A must link situation. How could one not recommend htis excellent source of creative information. Great site. Yes, I know, everybody knows it.
Brilliant material. A bit diluted in the last few years, because of all the added collections, but Sir Paul Smith is a superhero of design. I really like his sense of humor. The clothes always have a little special element that gives them live and makes them Paul Smith. The Stores are like little museums of now. I enjoy every visit. This is all beyond true Brit. This is true Great.
Stephanie Aaron’s Last name starts with two A’s. So she must have always been the first one to answer questions in school, the first one to be listed in any list that uses the alphabet to make sense of things. This list of links does not use the Alphabet, still AaronDesignInc. Is really high on my list for creative, professional design that works. I might need to post this link in the New York section as well. Stephanie Aaron has quite an influence on how we see certain things in this city.
She is really one of the designers of the urban landscape. She is also a mentor with the AIGA.
SURFACE - GESELLSCHAFT FÜR GESTALTUNG MBH. Markus Weisbeck’s design shop. If you are looking for somebody who takes design very, very seriously, Markus might be just that guy. Some of the work is quite brilliant. Some seems to be trying too hard. Good luck.
Eric (REDD) Feliciano, a great young Art Director from Brooklyn. A joy to work with, every time. Some of his newest work is not included on the current site, but I hope he is going to add it soon.
One of New Yorkís great designers. John just recently returned from Berlin, as far as I know. (This is another one of those password protected sites. Email him and he might let you in.)
Sten is a brilliant designer, (and a great photographer). I wonder when he will ever open the doors of his site again. If I had a Branding Project, I would immidiately give it to Sten. Catch a glimpse of his current site... Cool pictures Sten!
Powerforward.com is the creative outlet of and the home of Robert Hegeman, the New York and London based designer, art director. Some say that he was one of those who realy hitchhiked through the galaxy. He now plays with LEGO, lucky Rob. Hello Rob...
New every month. Always great. Taketo Uguchi’s E-zine is one of the central spots of the web.
Netbaby a wonderful place filled with great little games and happy fun.
Designer’s Republic isn’t it?
A serious design hero for me. Tom is a Sundance Festival tested director with some serious Creative experience. He somehow manages to push any project beyond the expected. In great ways, of course. Many creatives follow a beaten path. Tom defines the path.
