100% Design - London

Lynne and Teresa enjoyed a visit to 100% Design in September.

Teresa noted the move to realism, the growing interest in sustainability and the promotion of ‘Made in Britain’ as added value. This was exemplified by the award winning London based furniture company Pinch, with simple cabinetry details in their beautifully crafted wooden furniture – ‘produced by the best quality makers in the UK’. www.pinchdesign.com

We both thought the ‘homework’ desk designed by Robin Grasby is ingenious. Everything you need in a desk. No wonder it’s a prizewinner – see www.robingrasby.com

Lynne joined in with Robin and Nick Carter’s ‘Public Perception of Colour’, choosing the Pantone chips that best matched her perception of each colour group. You can see the results at http://www.robandnick.com/ and try the test for yourself at http://www.robandnick.com/ppc.php

Back from the East...

Nick is now back in London after an exciting 2 year stay in Hong Kong and via a memorable holiday in the Vancouver area. So overnight, we have boosted our retail design capability in the UK. We are currently discussing some interesting projects…

And it's goodbye from Veronika...

Good bye Big Idea....

I have really enjoyed my time at Big Idea.
Every day felt like an adventure for me, because of the new enviroment and tasks.
It was really interesting to see the German and Asian market, which I have spent a lot of time working on.

I will never forget this time in London and especially at Big Idea.

Thank you!

Veronika

Big Idea proud to be representing Jokey in Asia…

We are proud and excited to announce we now represent Jokey – Europe’s leading producer of plastic packaging – throughout Asia.

We believe our clients in Asia will love the Jokey range for its quality, innovation and outstanding compliance to hygiene and environmental requirements.

The Jokey range is fantastic – at the moment Jokey produce over 300 different containers for over 6,000 customers.

The packaging is modern in design and easy to handle, available in many shapes, from round to oval and rectangular, in a wide range of colours, stackable, with lid removal protection, impermeable, lightweight and all Jokey containers can be recycled. The containers are safe for food and can even be used for hazardous goods! Not to forget, Jokey containers also look stunning!

With a choice of decoration – from the high impact beauty of IML (in mould labelling) to 8-colour offset printing or classic silk screen printing.

So, we’re looking forward to helping clients choose the best Jokey container for both their practical needs and to make a mark for their brands and products.

But it's hello to Veronika!

Yep, as we say goodbye to Jieun we're pleased to say hello to our new intern from Munich.

Hello!

My name is Veronika Zenz I have been lucky to be given the opportunity to work for Big Idea as an intern. I am from Munich, Germany and graduated my apprenticeship as an event manager successfully in August 2008.

After I started as a project assistant in an event agency until March 2009. I am very happy to have been here and I hope to get some experience for my further business. 

Veronika.

Sadly it's time for our intern Jieun to go back to Seoul...

Time to say good-bye, I am afraid. During the time I have worked as an intern here, I noticed studying in university and practical business are very different. Especially, I have learned that researching, on which I have spent lots of time,is very important in real Marketing. Correct and various research should be based first.

I would continue my study about Marketing in Seoul, South Korea with this good experience.

I was really happy with BigIdea.

Thank you all indeed!

Good bye.

Jieun. 

New intern for the London office...

University of Seoul.

During my BA course, I developed a strong interest in Marketing and therefore I wanted to gain some real work experience.

At the moment I have been working on the Selva wood flooring project which I  am really enjoying.
