As part of the 100 year celebrations which have seen the entire offices redesigned and opened out to help develop the company and bring it up to date. As part of our ongoing work with Padley and Venables, we were asked to develop a wall graphic for this reception area to reflect the website designer previously by us. The size of this graphic is 5 metres X 1.75 m.
It was a simple thing for us to provide a strong graphic which shows the international nature of the company’s business and reminds every visitor of the scale of the operation. The other side of the wall shown here, is also covered with a graphic which helps communicate the company brand values to the staff on a daily basis.
The interior design and build was taken care of by Domino Commercial Interiors in Sheffield, with whom we worked to produce the graphic and get it in place.
We’ll update you with more on this project soon.

Nothing ultra new in terms of recently designed stuff, especially if you follow the world of interiors and furniture design, but I still love it. I picked up some materials from my shelf this week and found the leaflet I have showing my second favourite radiator of all time. (Yes it is sad I have a favourite, radiator, and possibly even sadder I have a second favourite, but let’s face it, ordering and ranking is what we do every day to help ourselves with decisions… granted my more important decisions are not radiator based but you know what I mean.)
Anyway, this Radiator was shown at the Cologne fair in 2007 by Italian born designer Macro Dessi, as a concept. He designed it in 2006 and his own little bit of blurb about the product is as follows:
“The raw expression of functional industrial radiators was a source of inspiration for the radiator . While maintaining this raw strenght [sic.], the object was transformed for living spaces. The rotation of the individual element is reminiscent of the sheet metal spirals of old- fashioned radiators.”
I have to say that having just experienced one of the longest, and coldest winters in recent memory, I for one, would be more than happy to actually place a couple of these beauties in my house, and even, for that matter, next to my desk in the west wing of Everybody towers.
Everybody says… great work Marco, let us know when we can buy it!

Happy new year to everyone… 14 days in and we finally got a minute to make our first post of the new year.
As committed Apple users, we were a bit dubious when a colleague pointed us in the direction of a wooden PC, which he told us looked great. PC? Nah, Wooden… Serious? So we went to the link he sent us and to our surprise this little PC looks fantastic. It’s styled by the Korean, Design Hara company, who have made it look like a bunch of the great retro looking machines we see from the great age of 70′s 8 track tapes and home stereo equipment.
The machine itself has a modern inside at least, it’s optical drive is a Blu-Ray player and is geared up to provide enough oomph for your media needs, perfect for HD movies etc. Possibly the most interesting thing is the machine is very low on power usage, meaning less carbon emissions. Options include faster processors, bigger hard drives and somewhat more interestingly, Lamb skin leather covers… Just incase it gets cold.
Each of these little beauties is hand made as ordered, and therefore limited edition. There’s no mention of price (or none that we can find at least), but we don’t expect to pick this up for €200 any time soon…
Everybody says well done Korean fellas, we’re sticking to our Macs for now, but if there was a cool mac based option like that, then we’d be in there.

Welcome to the new year… it’s been a busy busy time for a couple of months for Everybody, so if you’re still with us, then thanks fro checking back.
Anyway, we’re kicking this year off with this great light concept from the Spanish company called MERRY. Based in Spain their interest is improving lives and injecting a style with value for money. The work shown on the website is a huge and varied range, which encompasses everything from lighting to bottle design and tables to exhibition stands. Each piece is a really strong element in a great overall portfolio.
Ziplamp is a great idea. Putting a floor standing light inside a zipped neoprene suit to allow an adjustable amount of light out. No variable resistors, no over the top tech. Classic. The principle of variable light is something I love, as I hate strong light while I am trying to read or work, so being able to soften the light off in such an unusual manner is, for me, a great idea. Two or three of these in the office is a must.
Everybody says good work Spanish fellas. As ever, click the picture above to go to their site and explore their work.

We just wanted to bring this chair by Australian Designer Brodie Neill to the attention of everyone out there. It’s a simple continuous shape which is representative of the ever popular @ symbol on our keyboards. It’s produced in the ultra-light and ultra-cool Carbon fibre, with a chrome finish and looks brilliant.
This versatile designer has many great seating options which are produced in ay varied materials including a carpet and aluminium combination which sounds just as interesting as it looks. His forms are more often than not very organic in nature and if placed in an industrial setting would provide a great foil to the bare brick walls, looking even more stunning.
A great tip is to keep an eye out for his Chase Longe made from laminating many different materials, from fibre board to PVC and then CNC machining the shape out of the resulting block of colours. Stunning.
If you want to check out his work you can click the image above to go to his website for more images of his works and information about the designer.
Everybody likes shiny.
