The folks at cities x design have an interesting idea, travel around the country looking for innovative design and related business locally. Document it and provide a forum for showcasing America’s ability to make things in these economic times. Since they stopped by our pals at DoubleButter, we figured we should include the vids. More highlights both at DoubleButter and Cities x Design.

Must be in my blood to like typewriters and to type. The Hansen Writing ball, the first typewriter – and electronic to boot. Hansen got the idea by watching deaf students use sign language, he figured people would be able to write faster if they engaged all of their fingers. He also had the foresight to group the most commonly used letters with primary finger placement. He grouped vowels with one hand and consonants on the other, usability at work.

I wish it was a little bigger but it is Norwegian so that might make up the difference. Only 77 Euros as well.

So I’ve been seeing this furniture trend from quite a few Japanese designers lately, it reminds me of dustbowl meets mid-century modern. I need to find the Wallpaper article about another very similar design house. I originally happened onto this site at hoping for happy accidents.
