September 16th, 2010

We stumbled across this beautiful project by interface designers BERG were asked by creative agency Dentsu to create an expression of the role of glowing, rectangular displays in our lives.

What a very cool and creative way to clean up the place – I’ll be adding this to one our “techniques we want to try on a next public open space project” folder. Read the rest of this entry »
