  • Fashion Brand BOEGE

    —

    I was working from Cafe Pause yesterday, as I do on most days, with this time Max sitting nearby (we are co-producing a yet-to-be-announced project for White Rabbit Press). After a while I noticed him striking up a conversation with the person sitting next to him. Ends up that she works for To Beno, of…

  • Keiji Ashizawa Design Offices

    —

    ,

    During last week’s edition of PauseTalk, Keiji Ashizawa brought along a few photos of his new office space, which I’m posting here. You’ll remember that before making the move, Keiji used the space in December to host the “PROTOTYPE” exhibition. One of the things that I find so great about his new studio is that…
