The main venue of DESIGNTIDE TOKYO serves as a platform for designers to give polished, carefully considered presentations of their work.

This year, architect Ryuji Nakamura(中村竜治) has been selected to design the main venue at DESIGNTIDE TOKYO. How will he interpret the works by this year’s participating designers? What kind of space will he create to showcase them? Fans of Nakamura’s previous work are no doubt already looking forward to what he will come up with this time.

Brainstorming sessions for potential ideas are already underway. Look out for updates on Nakamura’s ideas and creative process in the coming weeks! / via DesignTide

當眾人都感嘆Polaroid(拍立得) 不再生產相紙之際，一群愛好攝影的同好，組成了The Impossible Project，並想盡辦法集資，買下最後一間Polaroid工廠，並研發新技術、包裝，於最近開始重新生產了Polaroid的相紙了！雖然目前只有黑白，但彩色的也即將問世！The Impossible Project並呼籲大家，別急著把你手中的Polaroid相機丟掉，因為現在，你又可以盡情的使用Polaroid創作了！

Way back in February 09 we told you about the impossible project ! That a team of Polaroid lovers, wanted to find funds to save at least one Polaroid factory. And they did ! Apparently the film quality is not there yet but of course a very cool packaging and for now, it only comes in b&w, but they say color PX film is on the way…  (by Cyril Style)

Japanese lifestyle brand, D&Department, now has D&TV. Not only they promote their own product and restaurant, they also help local traditional shops to sell their goods. Great concept!
