Look, no brands

Article Abstract:

Mujirushi Ryohin Europe, Japan's 'no brand goods' store concept, will open its second UK outlet in London's Covent Garden in June 1993 in partnership with Liberty. Called 'Muji', the interior of the 220 square metre outlet is designed by architect Richard Woolf whose design for the store is a blend of East and West. This is most evident on the walls, some of which have been lined with stackbonded blockwork to give a Japanese feel. A Glasgow store is being designed and the company may open between seven and 10 more stores in the UK if this is successful.

Election special

Article Abstract:

The live graphics system used for the six-hour British General Election broadcast of 9 April 1992 from BBC Television Centre, were the result of 2 years work by graphic designers: Patrick Bedeau and Matthew Wiessler. The broadcast averaged almost double the viewers registered on ITV, and since then interest in the whole production has been received from the US, Germany, Spain and Sweden. The production of the graphics is discussed, together with details of other information available to presenter Peter Snow throughout the broadcast.

A broadside to the pirates

Article Abstract:

The EEC is examining a green paper which attempts to abolish the practice of design infringement within the Community. The new 'Community Design' proposals would protect a design in all 12 countries for 25 years and would also run in tandem with national systems until most national schemes have expired. Generally, the design industry welcomes the move to stop copying in Europe.
