Subsonic Wins People’s Choice Award
Posted: February 27th, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Designlines | Comments Off
“Taking home the competitions People’s Choice Award and walking away with a gift package from BoConcept was Greg Ball’s Subsonic Chair. His brilliant and loud piece of furniture has two subwoofers installed within its curves. The party gets started when an iPod, MP3 player or gaming system is hooked up to the chair, which vibrates as the beats start pumping. Designed for teenagers, it was a crowd pleaser among the slightly older Avenue crowd”.

A newly renovated studio.
I have always been interested in what other artists / designers work spaces look like. We have all have one. But what do they all look like? Are there similarities? Whats in the studio? What objects do those people collect and admire? What do they surround themselves with? How do they decorate?
Or do they even decorate at all? What tools do they use? Is the space inspiring? Is it as mess, or is it tidy and clean?
In my opinion, an artist’s studio is very telling of one’s likes, dislikes, and often speaks alot about their work. The studio is where all the innovation happens for creative people. Above are shots of my own studio in Calgary- hope you enjoy!
Better with age.
