May Design Series (taking place from 18-20th May at London ExCeL) will feature a strong seminar programme, set over two stages and featuring industry thought leaders from the retail and contract sectors.
...............Acclaimed Danish designer Johannes Torpe, founder of Johannes Torpe Studios and creative director of Bang & Olufsen, will deliver a keynote speech which will deliberate ‘the entertainment’ behind retail design, and how re-evaluating the customer experience can create beautiful, immersive spaces.
Do we know anything about Johannes?

"Johannes Torpe spends half his time as creative director for audio and visual product maker Bang & Olufsen in Copenhagen and the other half running his eponymous namesake design studio in Beijing. Somehow, he still finds time to make music with his half-brother, DJ Rune Reilly Kolsch, as part of the duo known as Artificial Funk.
Currently working on redesigning the aesthetics of all 800 Bang & Olufsen stores around the world,"

There is a tv - and there is a BV
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
Mark:I'm always impressed with people that can hold down multiple roles as according to my wife we men can't multi task.
She's right, and women can't either. We're all better off when people do fewer things better.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
I think that is more about building a reliable group of people around you, and being able to delegate the jobs - and not to act as if you should do everything yourself.
Some people can do that, others can't, and they mostly end up with doing nothing or having a breakdown.
(nerd mode on) Yes we can, but technically, it's more like non-preemptive (co-operative) multitasking as in early Windows versions - the task that is running yields to other active tasks only when it bloody well pleases, i.e after the race on TV is over

early Windows = new Windows. It's no better than it was 15 years ago!
