"We have a lift-off..."

After hiding out on a staging server for a few months we can finally deliver you our new product. innvire is the name of the brand that delivers a simple but powerful promise. We deliver a set of products that together turn any space into a creative collaboration room.

Our innovative sketch panels (Sketchalots) deliver a large sketchestate, store 12 markers and hold magnetic tools. They can be used anywhere where you have some wall large enough to hold them, and they don’t need any installation so your toolbox can stay closed (and facility management does not have to show up).

Together with our Pouvlov seating system you can easily make small or very large spaces where you can draw, sketch, discuss, try-out plans, ideas or any challenges. The real cherry on top is the fact that all Sketchalots come included with the “Innthebox”. The little box, with great ideas hidden in the kickstart cards, a colorful set of markers and a magnetic wiper make your panel a gravity center of innovation.

With Sketchalot, Pouvlov and Inn-the-box you will be doing just that; innovating. We made it something you can just do, here and now. We made it a verb again.

Please take a look at www.innvire.com and get more insight on their design and characteristics.

Pixar & Jay Shusters...

Jay Shuster had the good grace to show up on Saturday morning to speak to a congregration of certified ASID interior designers and two creative designers that cannot be put in any one category from the Netherlands.


Jay spoke about where he comes from, and why designing cars is in his blood. From his brilliant furniture creations (from salvaged airplane materials) it is clear he is not only about cars.


What was most inspiring for me was the power and expression in his sketches. An important lesson is in the way Pixar operates. There is a whole big team of super gifted creatives, designers and crafts-men (left brain / right brain in the words of Jay) but there has to be a design dictator (at pixar it is John Lasseter), to bring all the efforts together.


It was just great to hear his cool speech, see his awesome art-work, and get a Jay Shuster original sketch in my Moleskine :).
