Deco editor Angela Molfeta in Athens asked for high res images of my Uni lights and Hello Jello sofa for publication in a magazine supplement to Proto Thema. My first inquiry from Greece!

Design writer Trina Thawley featured Uni lights in ”The Goods” section of Tokyo Metropolis (July 14, 2006). http://metropolis.co.jp/tokyo/642/goods.asp

Writer/editor Takafumi Suzuki recommended me for the Creators’ Works section in AXIS Magazine (March/April 2006). http://www.axisinc.co.jp/English_f/etalkshop_f/120/120talk02.html


Design and pop culture writer (and fellow Canadian) Jean Snow introduced me to MocoLoco readers in February. http://mocoloco.com/tokyo/archives/002148.php

And back in 2004, editors/writers at ELLE DECO Japan and Design Reform included Uni lights in articles about TDB-CE and urban renewal in east end Tokyo.

Jurors awarded Uni lights an Honourable Mention for Concepts in
ID Magazine’s 50th Annual Design Review.


Writer/translator/web publisher Kazue Daikoku published a web review of my work at happano.org in 2003.

Thank you for your kind support!

The recent spike of interest in Uni lights makes me think of the social epidemics described in Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point. I just read this book a few weeks ago, and his theories keep popping back into mind. Interesting and well-written.
