    Backstage For the last few month, aalex and i have been working really hard on a new project: DesignMarketo. The core idea is to provide designer with a tool that lets them expend their audience and public exposure and sells their nice projects. DesignMarketo offers a selection of the last nice things we came across, mostly, at our friends studio. We went trough all the low and highs working on such projects can provide (think: credit crunch in sept 08); but seen from here and now, it has been mostly a lot of fun and discoveries. Meeting people and discussing about their works and how to provide them with some solutions really did carry our minds away. I really enjoyed developing the project basics, its structure, talking business plan, business model, how to make this adventure a profitable venture…

    Of course when Credit Crunch badly hit the UK in septembre 08 we had our pack of doubts, but we finally realised that it was on the contrary a great occasion to make things differently and to open up new area for designers to explore in the self production area – we will be there to assist them and help them diffuse and sell their clothes, furniture, books, prints…

    We sincerely hope you will enjoy the project :)
    Jerome, for SuperMarketo.

    * Jotta (an online and offline community for art, design and communication) ran a nice interview, read more on their website

    * Wallpaper in its May 2010 issue features the work of Lars Frideen; read more

    * New York Times magazine reported about the FoodMarketo we held in London – the series of event around Design and Food.

    Like Super Natural, FoodMarketo was in the Brompton Design District, one of several such districts in the festival. A joint effort by Apartamento magazine and Design Marketo, a company that allows young designers to get their products (from greeting cards to tables) to a wider audience, this engagingly ad-hoc basement installation, designed by Max Lamb and Lars Frideen, was half cafe (selling coffee from Coleman Coffee Roasters) and half pop-up shop. The cafe furniture was for sale, as were objects like the irresistible lollipops flavored with coffee and tea that were cast in silver spoons by Amandine Alessandra.
