The David Report.
This is a blog that I follow and feel is worth mention and also praise. David Carlson the founder of the David Report is based in Sweden and is founder of the furniture brand David Design, the lifestyle shop Carlson Ahnell and the knowledge company Designboost. He recently posted his 5 key design trends report and if you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend the read. I am in agreement with David about the fact that there will be less buying in the future, in terms of consumerism and that people will instead gravitate toward purchasing things that will last longer (and so will cost more).
This is a general statement on my part. David goes into some depth in this report and covers other things he has determined are key trends, but he also quotes other trend groups which I really give him credit for. So, in turn, I will recommend David’s report as a timely read.
Does that make us frenemies? Just kidding. I’ve not met David but I’ve been reading his blog for about a year. Being based in another part of the world, David often reports on things we don’t always get the scoop on in the United States, or not in as timely of a fashion as David does. Plus he has a very keen eye. You might want to put him in your Google reader, and tell him I sent you.
Thanks for the info, will check it out. Hope you’re doing fine, best, M
Hey, Marko. Thanks. Yes, I am doing okay. Better than I should be given the economy. It just makes me work harder, right?
Let me know what you think of the David Report. His group sent me an invitation to Designboost and I am sorry I wasn’t able to go. Hopefully next year. I think good things come out of it.
Hiya,
Well, I must say I’m feeling really positive about the site. Actually, I was interested because I’m also into industrial design, it’s how I started this hobby. I bookmarked it.
As for the economy, I hope for the best. Things are really, really gloomy here. If Germany and Austria are doing badly, then Slovenia does too - very connected.
Have a good election day,
M
There’s no denying anymore Marko that the whole world is connected. I think this current financial situation tsunnami whatever you want to call it just points to that fact….
Glad you liked the David Report. His site can be interesting. He gets some good scoops on the designers too.
All the best, Marko. When you coming to the states?
Oh, I’d like to visit as soon as possible. Will see how my wallet treats me, so to speak.
Have a lovely weekend!
Best, M
