Be Here Now

Bring­ing flexy back – Form­way launches 'Be' into New Zea­l­and market. OK, Ok, enough bad musical puns. It was a while ago now that we first broke the news of Formway's latest office product offer­ing – Be – with this story on the rather innov­at­ive design of the new chair. Be, designed at Formway's Lower Hutt stu­dio, is finally avail­able in New Zea­l­and, [...]

Inter­view: Alt Group

The BeST Awards roll into town tomorrow (that is, Friday 16 October, Auckland Museum). Last year's big graphic design winner was Alt Group, picking up the overall graphic prize, the Stringer Award, and a slew of golds, silvers and bronzes. Alt's in the BeST Awards mix again this year, and seeing as the design firm has been on a hot streak for months, picking up awards all over the place (TDCs, ADCs, Graphis, Red Dots, etc...) we thought we'd re-run this interview from earlier in the year. Given that this year they have a number of entries in a number of categories you'd probably be a fool to bet against them picking up an award or two this year too. Here's Alt Group's Ben Corban and Dean Poole talking design.
