Aquí, una entrevistilla para el que guste de más información. Leer el resto… Cuánto cuesta estar parado en un semáforo, ¿verdad? Pues la gente de Smart… ¿Cómo? Pues lo que os contaba. Mola, ¿eh? Visto en Osocio. ¿Os acordáis de aquello de “Pitagora suichi“? Leer el resto…
belle maison Designers Workspace: Creative and Inspirational Examples What’s in a desk? A pen and a laptop, with a chair and maybe a mug? On a typical desk, yes of course – however, on a creative’s desk there is so much more. I have decided to take a closer look at what it is that makes up a creative’s workstation and my findings are nothing shocking but I think overlooked. Clean, simple and useful A creative’s workstation is very clean. Toy oriented Oh, there are just so many toys – by which I mean technological gadgets.
