It’s week something or other, in our weeknote list, and the studios are really busy. I think Wendy has become an expert at putting together Aeron chairs, and I’m told we’re running out of wastepaper bins.
We have a summer intern from Harvard working with us. Emma is working for one of our clients and is spending her time getting immersed in academic research and developing the much needed intellectual grounding for our client’s methodology. As usual, we’re not able to say much about the work with our clients as it happens. It’s part of the deal we make with them unfortunately.
One of the things we are able to talk about and very proud to do so, is our involvement with Ride Alabamboo. They leave tomorrow and the four of them are riding across America on bamboo bikes they made themselves. Yes, across the States. Bamboo. And bikes. We’ll say more about it soon, but for now if you are interested or want support them, drop by their site: http://ridealabamboo.com/ Ride Alabamboo is part of Common Cycles, founded by COMMON.
The photo is of Nicole, one of the team cyclists, holding up her frame she’ll be riding on. She’ll of course put on wheels and things before doing so.
In other news, we’ve teamed up with Weightshift again on an exciting project for ourselves. One that we’ll be very public and transparent about in the short future. Over the last two years of our four year history (though Central was first started about eight years ago) we’ve gone through several stages of change as we’ve evolved from a design studio to being more of a consultancy. We’ve built up some great project experience and knowledge around the impact and value of the design process and are looking forward to sharing where we’re going with all that. And of course, collaborating with Weightshift on our own story is always a pleasure.
Being busy and with this upcoming change, we’re a little more quiet online than we usually are. But here’s a photo of Jonathan inspecting a mock-up of a book we had bound for a project we’re working on.
