« Garden Geta in 032c| First 300 Sorapots are Sold Out »

traveling

As you’re reading this, I’m probably reading Purple Cow and flying to Asia. I’m visiting the workshop that’s making Sorapot, ensuring that the first 300 are perfect, and getting the glass teacup started. But I’m also going to be in three wonderful cities over the course of two weeks! If you or someone you know wants to get together while I’m there (20th-23rd for Shenzhen, 24rd-26th for Hong Kong,27-29th for Tokyo), shoot me an email and we’ll grab a drink.

Sorapot arrives « A blog of small things 02.25.08 / 11am

[…] I presume that the packaging of the Sorapot is designed from recycled materials and designed to be easily recycled. It fails miserably at this because it is too beautiful to throw away. […]

Am excited for you. I still recall my first trip to Japan and Hong Kong Kong and the send-off given to me by friends. That was many years ago. I am sure you will enjoy the trip. Get in some sight-seeing and find sources and inspiration from the different cultures.

Joey Roth uses stories as the initial sketches for his designs. He thinks about characters, scenes, and conversations, then designs an object that will feed this narrative. He’s fascinated by the meanings that designed objects convey and by ritual behavior.

Roth used to be a student of creative writing, and loved it because it allowed him to construct entire worlds for his characters. He now tells stories through product design, and still strives to make each product an immersive world.
