I’m excited to introduce some new work at IMM Cologne next week, and to visit Germany for the first time. If you’re in the area, I’d love to get a drink and meet up. I’m showing my designs at the entrance to Hall 3.1, as part of DesignSpotter’s d3 exhibit.

Sorapot has been out for half a year now, and many of my customers are designers, artists, engineers, and other creative people. You’ve given me extremely valuable feedback on my design, but I’ve always been curious to see your thoughts expressed the way you usually express them: visually. With the holidays here, a Sorapot Art [...]

I just received a shipment of new Sorapots, and opened ordering once again. The most exciting part of this for me is the feedback I’m going to get as more people use their Sorapots for the first time.
