The S Clinic was not the easiest project in the world to construct as it’s located in the core of Osaka. As it’s facing the national road, there’s a great number of traffic existing in this area.

Take a Nap & Incubate

Sometimes letting go off a problem will let your "subconscious" work it out for you. Getting great ideas don't always result from logical step by step thinking.

Jeong- Eun Lee: Design requires Heart and Sweat

Young designer, Jeong- Eun Lee, says that design is in her blood. The strong interest for the heritage of crafts became a natural part of Lee’s life as she was brought up by a jewelry designer father and a fashion designer mother. Time and again as she saw self-made jewelry and colorful patterns: her will to adopt a life in design culture nurtured.

After graduating from the Metal Art & Design faculty at Hong-Ik University, South Korea, Lee received an offer from a number of local design shops that wished to sell her 'SUM lighting'. The SUM lighting was one of her graduation projects. She spent months after graduating assembling the lights one by one as the production of SUM lighting was quite complicated and time consuming, bearing in mind that Lee was alone during the entire creation process.

Shorty after her graduation, Lee portrayed her first Solo exhibition in which she showcased her works. She named it “Nobody Knows Me”.

Product designer Daniel Garcia Sánchez acquaints DUDYE with what he considers the most challenging part of being a designer; he explains that the most challenging is what he’s experiencing right now: the beginning. “All beginnings are very hard, once you know people; everything becomes easier.” His way of overcoming it is “work, work and work”.
