designboost goes reality

designboost goes reality!

This means that certain products of designboost will be also sold in real shops. So the customers have the possibility, to get an impression about the quality, material, colour etc.

Especially for cloth this will be very handy, because it will be possible to try the cloth, before you buy them.

Our first Partner-shop will be in 8000 Århus C in Mejlgade 48 mf.

The name of the shop is ”Homebaze” and it just moved there beginning of April 2010. The shop sales cds , dvd s and accessories. And it will now be extended with some of our designboost products. We'll keep you updated, when and what you can purchase in our Partner shop!

BERLIN, BERLIN

It is already 3,5 weeks ago that I was visiting Berlin. Afterwords I was making a little detour to Amsterdam and Dortmund, before I returned to Denmark. And in addition I was heaving a deadline for a school project, see beneath. To cut a long story short...This is why it took me so long to upload the Berlin pics. Berlin was great! But I was also having too little time to have an opportunity of visiting all the designers of designboost, that felt like meeting up. But nevertheless I managed to visit 5. First I was visiting Christiane of mjot, who is having a quit big shop in Kreuzberg close to Bergmannstrasse, where she is selling a lot of Danish products. Definitively recommendable to visit her!!!
Wednesday I went with a grop of Multimedia Designers to visit the Design School, where Julia Schnitzer is teaching. Thank you so much Julia for this great tour!
On Thursday I went to the Shop from Vincente. Where I met Birgit from Vincente and Genia from chocolate Berlin. Vincente is also in Kreuzberg and it is a very nice and cozy shop, with a workshop in the backside of the shop, where all the nice hats and other cloth gets produced. We were sitting in front of the shop having some tea, since it was adorable weather.
Last but not least was a visit at Fortschritt Berlin, where I was meeting Robert. Unfortunately I was missing of taking some pictures of his shop, but it is in Berlin Prenzlauerberg. And he really has a lot of awesome stuff, so I also purchased a nice bag in his shop.
The plan is to go to Berlin again this year, Probably end of June. There is just too much to see

designboost spring newsletter is online!

...today I will leave to Berlin...but before I go, here is our new newsletter

New at designboost from 'chocolate berlin'

The cotton hats of chocolate berlin are perfect for the crossover period. On a cold summer morning or at the seaside, but also as sun protection they are the perfect companion for you.
Check it out on www.designboost.dk

Spring can't come quick enough!!!

Last year was a very busy year, so after Christmas I needed a long time to recover my batterys. I was just always so tired, and could just do, what was really, really needed.
I would also definitely need some sunshine. I don't know, how about you guys...???
This winter is just too long!!!

We were also having a lot of projects for the multimedia studying, and I was just programming too much...staring into a computer screen, that was maybe also not really lifting up the mood.
So January and February I was quit relaxed, but having a really bad conscience because I was working so little ....but now I think I am really finally getting better again. As you can also see on this new blog post.

On the 22 of March I will go with a group of multimedia designers to Berlin until the 26. If anybody has some underground tips for us, don't hesitate to post it here. After Berlin I will go on my own to Amsterdam, visiting some friends and than to Dortmund until the 3rd of April. Afterwards home sweet home...travelling back to Denmark.

If any of the Designers would like to meet up for example in Berlin, let me know. I would be very pleased about it.
I really hope I will have installed the new shop-system before I left to Berlin, but that also depends on a certain payment module that has to be available.
We have some new designers, that would like to work together with us. Also a girl from Norway, that makes fantastic cloths and accessories. A new newsletter will be published soon...so I hope you guys stay tuned!
All the best!

Happy New Year!

I want to wish everybody a very, very, happy new year, and thank you guys so much for all your support in 2009!
The day of new years eve is for me also the time to make a resume about the last year...
One year ago the idea of designboost was just new born, and now we are almost online since half a year. We found a lot of enthusiastic, creative, new coming designers and have now more than 200 products online.
It was a lot of fun and very exciting!
For the following year we made a lot of plans. Right now, we are already working on a new shop system, that is more constructed like an online shopping mall, and let every designer have its own shop. We hope to go life with that in February or March 2010.
At the end of March there is also a little trip planned to Berlin. And I would really like to meet some of our designers in the capital of Germany.
I wish you all the best for the future, and hope that we will have a terrific 2010!
Susanne

Since I read some days ago on a Danish blog about a “give away”, I thought this was a wonderful idea. So I started my own designboost blogspot, to create our first giveaway with some products of our dear designers.

I chose some Christmas decoration from Maedchenwahn, and some hair ties from innerland.

These are the rules for the lottery:

• you will get 1 lot, if you write a comment in this blog
• if you write a comment, and become one of our readers, you will get 2 lots
• for 3 lots you should leave a comment, become a Follower and leave a link about this campaign on your blog. If you don't have a blog, you can also just use your facebook profile. You are welcome to use our pictures! :-)

Please add in the comment, with how many lots you are taking part! Thanx :-)

The lottery will take part on December the 18th at 17pm.
I hope, that it is enough time so you will recieve your giveaways before Xmas.
I am very excited what is going to happen.

Now I should continue programming my computer game!

Have a great advent season! Susanne
