Where lies the origin of inspiration? Join us at FITC Tokyo where unit9 director Roxik will be ‘Talking with a designer’s brain’.
We are..
Attracted to the mystery of the deep sea,
And the wonder of the space,
And comforted by the secret of mole,
Spending nights with love delusion.
Where lies the origin of inspiration?
Leaving technology, logic and all behind,
Feel what we share in our mind.
