<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Innovation has been a key driver behind all that we create at Ubiquity Design Studio, because innovation is what takes us all forward and continues to improve the world that we live in.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Innovation isn't just about appearing to be new. True innovation is about being prepared to ask "What if we tried it like this, because surely this must be a better way" and then go about finding out.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Knelt™ is just one of those innovations.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Through study, research and testing (with not just a little bit of nerve & belief) we have found that due to the angles of both the stool & desk combined, the user obtains the optimal postion for a neutral spinal posture, without evening being aware of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then it naturally adapts to you as you continue to grow. That, we believe, is innovation.</div>

<br />
Two years ago we formally started Ubiquity Design Studio and it's been quite a journey so far. Progress has been sure & steady yet we've been reflective too, evolving our concepts & ideas as well as learning from our good & bad experiences. We're not where we expected to be, but to be honest, all things being equal, we're rather impressed with where we are.<br />
<br />
We're really just starting and there's a lot more to come...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a family, we've had our allotment plot for about a year now and are slowly but surely making headway. Especially since the site was a fallow field for close to 30 years and each plot has been started from scratch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Quite a community has evolved over that time, with a common unifying desire to be more self reliant in the production of the food we eat.</div>

Not every one gets an opportunity to have such an piece of ground to cultivate, nor even access to a garden to plant for that matter. In this inspiring TED film, Britta Riley talks about the idea of a soil-less hydroponic structure in your window, that offers a realistic solution to those apartment and garden-less souls who yearn for the sense of being a little more food self sufficient.<br />

Amongst the exhibit was a concept car named the O21C and I found that I just had to drink in every detail, so fresh was its inspiration & ideas.<br />
<br />
That designer, who had been given £30, 000 to come up with a design fantasy shopping list shown at the exhibit, was Marc Newson.<br />
<br />
This was his car and through that experience, I knew design was a part of me. The past 10 years have been an unusual and unexpected journey into design for me, yet this is one of my significant inspirations and a mentor in the process and approach to what we do.<br />
<br />
To quote Marc <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"The
thing that has always driven me as a designer is feeling pissed off by the shitty stuff around me and wanting
to make it better."</span><br />
<br />
This is one of his most recent interviews, which gets to the nub of sweating the small stuff...<br />

Presented in a beautiful three screen panorama, Power of Making is a short film that demonstrates the skill of a group of crafts people in a highly compelling and almost voyeuristic way.<br />
<br />
As they focus on their projects in the vibrant noise of their work space, you get a truly tangible sense of the physical process of creating an object, from bespoke leather shoes to hand beaten car bodies.<br />
<br />
As a consumer society, the vast majority have become divorced of a sense of where objects come from and have ceased to comprehend that people of these shores have any part in their creation.<br />
<br />
Well, the British Crafts-Designer-Maker is alive and well...<br />

Well, New Year greetings to everyone.<br />
<br />
It's been a little while since I posted. I've been busy taking stock of last year and have been using these last few weeks since those busy months to restructure the layout of the studio. Which is coming together quite nicely. A much more creative and efficient space to work and think.<br />
<br />
I'm itching to get prototyping some new ideas, as much to see that they work, so I'll be hiding out down at the MonkWorks<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 8px; text-align: left;">™</span> (read "shed"!) putting things together and most likely pulling things apart...<br />

I've also received word that the first batch of Knelt<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 8px;">™</span> Adult is complete and will here by the end of the month. It would seem I've got a storage unit to rearrange too...</div>

This magazine is very high end. We talked for over an hour exploring the concept of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: #999999; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 8px;">K</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 8px;">n</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: #999999; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 8px;">elt™</span> and my design values (which he has edited quite nicely).</div>

<br />
Dealing with orders, interviews, magazines, PR and even some designing.<br />
<br />
To tell you the truth, I'm always designing as I interact with the world, people, media and the internet. However, some creations never quite get the chance to reach paper and find themselves residing in my minds eye, waiting for the opportunity to become a self indulgent expression of inspiration.<br />
<br />
Sami the reindeer is such an example, of a shape that I came across quite some time ago and I found it crying out to be recognised as a young, very cute reindeer. So after some careful refining to capture her personality she has eventually become a laser cut plywood Christmas tree decoration, because with those antlers she really deserved to be out there in the world at this time of year.<br />
<br />
Sami finally reached the manufacturer yesterday and will be made available next week. Keep an eye on my <a href="http://www.ubiquitydesignstudio.co.uk/Order-Page.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">order page</span></a> for when she goes live.Tim Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13557725254264874858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648024486822626754.post-9516288112181026572011-11-18T05:18:00.001-08:002012-03-01T02:06:51.532-08:00ISS film footage of sublimely beautiful night flyover.<br />
