Dean exhibits at TEI 09 in Cambridge

The Table with a View and Audio Can were very well recieved at TEI 09 Conference in Cambridge (February 2009). A supporting paper 'Embedded Electronics in Playful Products' is published in the conference proceedings. We particularily enjoyed talks by Durrel Bishop, Ayah Bdeir, Bart Hengeveld and demo's by Richard Banks and Alice Wang.

The Jean-Baptiste Labrune fron MIT Media Lab was so taken by our camera that he attached it to his face.

Deyan Loves Dean

Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum, visited Dundee last month to promote his new book, 'The Language of Things'. Whilst visiting he found the time to look at some of the work coming out of the design studios, Deyan picked out a couple of objects he really liked, Deans' Audio Can and Table with a View as well as Christopher McNicholls' Radio.
