September Guest: Aaron Lown and John Roscoe Swartz of BUILT
AT Offline: The NY Design Meetup
Attendance: 140+
Our most recent Meetup kicked off with Phil Michealson of KartMe (a free website that helps you to organize, share, and make decisions with friends on a variety of projects) and designer Monica Velez shared her "Feel Me II" mattress. Following was the featured event with Aaron Lown and John Roscoe Swartz of BUILT — jump below for the BUILT transcript and all the images integrated from Aaron & John's presentation…
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN:: So let's think back to a time before there were neoprene wine carriers; when our only choice for carrying wine was those black plastic bags used by almost every wine and liquor merchant in New York. I remember back when Astor Wines had a very standard-looking front counter. And then, all of a sudden, the front counters of wine stores started to get more interesting — we started to see these beautiful, colorful and functional neoprene wine carriers produced by our guests tonight. A little bit about BUILT before we begin — Aaron Lown and John Roscoe Swartz started the company in 2003 as an answer to a problem, not knowing how much it would expand and how quickly it would do so. Friends from Cranbrook, Aaron and John left their previous careers to start BUILT, which as of 2010 has sold over 7,000,000 neoprene totes, sold in over 50 countries. They expanded from wine to a variety of items to help you carry things — such as lunch totes, book totes, even iPad holders.
Thank you for joining us. So I usually start out these discussions asking about how the company or product got started. Tonight, I'd like to ask you a bit about why you both decided to become designers and how you ended up going to Cranbrook.
JOHN ROSCOE SWARTZ: I became a designer because early on in my life I fell in love with great design. I grew up in Ohio, but had the chance to escape to Italy at the age of 18 — a trip that transformed my life. I remember walking into an Alessi store and seeing the La cupola espresso maker by (Aldo) Rossi and thinking what an amazing, well-crafted piece it was. It changed my whole outlook and transformed my feelings about design.
AARON LOWN: I feel the same passion for Rossi. I'm a painter, so craft, pottery, and other hand-made objects — when well-made — make me feel the passion that went into the design of this object. I grew up in Maine, where my family ran a shoe manufacturing company. I grew up around craftspeople, factory workers, and artisans, so I'm pretty attune to a well-made product.
MAXWELL: Okay, so I understand where you're both coming from, but most people don't go to Italy and fall in love with Alessi products, or grow up around crafts and follow a design career. I'm curious to learn a bit more about how you felt design was your calling.
AARON: I had a first-grade assignment where we were asked to write what we'd do if we were President of the United States. I ended up creating my own typeface! Graphic design was always an interest of mine, and I ended up getting my BFA in graphic arts at Parsons. I actually also spent a lot of time in high school on pottery. I went to crafts camp at thirteen and actually threw pots next to Jonathan Adler. He was so good at throwing pots — it was intimidating! So I ended up going over to the woodworking shop instead. I was pretty upset about this at the time — in fact, funny story is that shortly after that I actually broke Adler's ankle in a basketball game (not on purpose of course).
JOHN: In 1991 we were in the midst of a recession, and I figured it would be a good time to go back to school. Cranbrook has such history, it was an attractive option. It's almost like an art & design "monastery" — graduate study only, and a very free cross-discipline platform. More concentrated studies in graduate school make relationships and close contacts even stronger.
MAXWELL: So when you left, what did you think you'd do next?
JOHN: Cranbrook was a great education intellectually — lots of debate and critique. I ended up getting a degree in Printmaking (my mom is a Printmaker) with a graduate thesis in furniture making. Like I said, cross-discipline study is encouraged at Cranbrook.
AARON: John and I came together because we wanted to keep exploring and learning. We moved to New York together, where we were lucky enough to find a great landlord who supplied us an apartment along with studio space. We both did freelance to earn money (architectural modeling, drawings, etc.).
JOHN: I was hell-bent on learning a craft, so I apprenticed with a furniture maker…
AARON: …who happened to be the woodworker who created Donald Judd's furniture.
MAXWELL: Tell us about the first wine tote.
AARON: We were in our Tribeca studio one night, and this guy knocks on the door. It was a neighbor of ours that we had befriended. Anyway, we start talking and he's telling us about work (he was a wine merchant) and how he's looking for a modern, elegant wine tote. We offered to make one for him — his only requests were that he didn't like burlap, and he didn't like images of grapes. We created an Italian leather wine carrier; it was made here, and very expensive. But he loved it. So while it solved his problem, it didn't solve ours, as it was too expensive to sell to many others.
BUILT: The amazing alums of Cranbrook — Charles and Ray Eames, Florence Knoll, Eero Saarinen to name a few.
JOHN: My dad was an oral surgeon, and my mom was a modern dancer and printmaker.
AARON: As I mentioned, my family manufactured shoes. What's amazing about both of our families is that we both have uncles that invented major medical devices (Aaron's uncle invented the defibrillator, John's uncle invented the insulin pump). I suppose this type of entrepreneurial attitude also helped shape our interest in design and hand-crafted products.
BUILT: In a family of entrepreneurs and craftspeople, there is a belief you grow up with that you can change the world, that anything is possible. That obviously played into our ability to see the possibilities in the design world, and probably a large part of what attracted us to it. Some of the influential items seen here speak to our interest in beautiful, hand-crafted objects — Marimekko goods, Jean Prouvé chair, Philippe Starck juicer, Issey Miyake dress, Thickness calibrator (American industrial design)
BUILT: This shows all of the different items we've created — everything from custom furniture, to shoes, to bags, all in various materials (wood, metal, glass). We experimented a lot before finding one material (Neoprene) that gave us parameters within which to explore multiple product options.
BUILT: This is a brilliant product — a simple solution to an everyday problem. We strive to make everyday life better. The inspirational items you saw on Slide 3 are wonderful, but the entrepreneurial aspect of the Chip Clip really speaks to us.
AARON: Simplicity in product came about due to various trials and errors. I had a chair ("Hi Ho" stool) in MoMA's Mutant Materials Show (1995) and as I was attending the show with my family, who was gushing about the stool and its place in the show, there was a guy standing next to us who wrote for The New Yorker. He was in need of some stools so I created four for him. Unfortunately, I then spent the next ten years going over to his place to fix them.
MAXWELL: The Dwell Studio founders said that they created textiles because they found them easy to ship! Simplicity makes sense.
JOHN: Along those lines, we idealized the notion of creating a furniture company that produced modern furniture at good prices. This piece is an example of that — the name representing the location of the studio at the time (Hyattsville, Maryland). But we found this to be complicated, and difficult to ship. It was time to go back to the Chip Clip mentality.
BUILT: ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) is the first place we showed product — a table. It was a lot of work, and again, a difficult product to ship.
AARON: I was working freelance for Kate Spade at the time, where I learned a lot about bag making. It was also an incredibly inspiring atmosphere due to the entrepreneurial nature of the business. This bag was complicated — it was made in 29 pieces, with 10 different material sources, and was priced at $450. Yes, it was made in NYC, but everything else about it was complicated and expensive.
JOHN: So we're travelling around to wine shows, trying to sell the product, realizing it's too expensive and complicated to make. We realized we needed a cheaper place to make it, and simpler materials. Our choice of neoprene matched our needs, right down to our desire to have fun colors.
BUILT: This is the culmination of 10 years of effort. We wanted to manufacture in Asia, as we found that we couldn't afford to do it in the US. We did a google search for "neoprene factories in Asia" and sent along our plans to 5 different factories. Some read the plans in inches, some in centimeters. Some even created the plan in both, resulting in very narrow, long bags! When we got all the samples in-house it was easy to make a decision on whom to go with. Neoprene allows for a cut-and-sew product that is also very dimensional (given Neoprene's properties). The bags are created from one sheet that is sewn together. It packs flat (24 / box) and originally we simply shipped to a self storage facility in New York. The Neoprene version of our bag was an instant success — the issue was one of quantity. We borrowed $30,000 from friends and family to place a large order for a container-load of finished product. We attended the 2004 New York Gift Show and MoMA buyers came in — they saw the bags and placed a $100,000 order on the spot. We took a gamble with the product and it paid off very quickly.
BUILT: We did various versions of the wine tote (one bottle, two bottle) allowing us to expand and own the category. From there, we noticed that lunch bags often appeared next to the bottles, so we created a lunch tote, which won an award the first year out. It was very successful.
BUILT: Many people helped us make our dream a reality. We quickly grew from 2 to 15 people, and learned that we had to be able to pass on our vision in order to allow for expansion of the company. This resulted in the BUILT Manifesto.
BUILT: We made a 10 point manifesto to help keep our mission at the forefront of everything we do. One of the points in the manifesto is "Make everyday life more enjoyable", which we truly strive for in the creation of our products.
MAXWELL: Did you feel you needed a manifesto so you wouldn't get lost in the process?
BUILT: YES! Once again, it goes back to the Chip Clip.
BUILT: We have a great team of people who helped us get to this point.
BUILT: A customer created this to hold his laptop, simply cutting the two-bottle tote down the middle seam. He sent it to us and it inspired our first laptop sleeve.
BUILT: We'd been talking about creating a laptop sleeve, it just made sense. Eat / Drink / Work — we already supported the first two, we needed to support the third.
BUILT: We turned the bag sideways and put on a handle, another option for this type of carrier.
MAXWELL: At this point it looks like you are moving towards carrying things besides beverages.
BUILT: This corkscrew is an example of knowing your limits. We created this "ratcheting corkscrew" to complement our products. Brookstone bought a ton of them and they couldn't sell them. It just didn't make sense. This was a sign that we had to return to the manifesto — we broke every rule and needed to get back to it!
BUILT: Alexander Girard totes — we have the license to use his prints on our products. Girard actually introduced color and shapes to (Charles and Ray) Eames and (Harry) Bertoia, and we find it an honor to have him in the product line.
MAXWELL: Has this been good for sales?
JOHN: Yes. We had already edged into color, but the first print (laptop sleeve) opened our eyes to pattern.
BUILT: This inspired the investigation into doing our own store.
Q: What are the environmental ramifications of Neoprene?
A: Neoprene lasts for 50 years. It is an inert plastic. We are working on developing products that are not plastic-based. We feel that our product replaces many disposable products of the past (the black plastic wine store bag, for example). Our product is recyclable.
Q: Have you heard of geoprene (limestone-based product)?
A: Yes, it's cool, but in terms of environmental benefits it doesn't really make sense yet. Patagonia is making wetsuits out of it. It may develop further but it's not there yet. We're always looking at new materials, though.
Q: How do you protect your designs?
A: We have a trademark on the two-bottle tote. It's a big deal because they are very hard to get. We spent a lot of time and money on it. We have put patents on almost everything we've created.
Q:Have you talked to any wetsuit manufacturers about using their scraps?
A: All of our products are wetsuit-grade, but there is actually very little left over during the wetsuit manufacturing process.
AARON: In our design, we are very careful to waste as little as possible. Once we come up with a design, we arrange it on the sheet so that little is wasted. Many of our new designs come from suggestions — people love what we do and enjoy coming up with new ideas for use of our products.
Q: When you started to grow quickly, did you train the staff together or did you hire a business manager, etc.?
A: To be honest, we really don't know what we're doing! But seriously, we have amazing people on our team and find that they bring experience where we don't have it, and vice versa — it's a great complement. Once trained, we just try to stay out of their way.
Q: Have you ever thought of working with the likes of Target or Wal-Mart?
A: We started working with Target early on, on projects that are not BUILT.
MAXWELL: Do you enjoy working with Target?
A: We chose to work with a mass market retail, so we know what that entails. Given that, it's still a struggle. The dynamic of reseller to manufacturer gives them great power. It's a challenge, but a good one.
Q: How large is your staff? How do you decide the size?
A: We currently have about 50 employees. We love what we do and we always want to do more, so we hire as needed. We do everything (sales, warehousing, quality control, design) so a large staff is needed.
Q: Do you design in-house or hire out?
A: We have an amazing in-house design team, but of course, we're always growing and looking for new talent.
MAXWELL: I usually like to finish up by asking one of two questions: Given where you currently are, what would you have done differently? Or, what's next for BUILT? Your product line is so broad now, it must feel like you've done everything.
While we've expanded to all sorts of categories, we see a common theme in all of our products — that of on-the-go transport. Thus, we are working towards tying that theme directly to a new line of products related to transport and travel. We're also always looking at new materials, so we will continue that exploration. We've got a lot of new things coming next year, so be on the lookout!
Finally, congratulations to the evening's two winners of BUILT totes!
• Special thanks to Kayne Elisabeth Rourke for transcribing our Meetup!
• Special thanks to Knoll for welcoming our Meetup to their showroom!
• Special thanks to our wine sponsor, September Wine & Spirits!

Second season of Nissan GT Academy starts Nov. 1
The Nissan GT Academy television show is back for a second season, starting Nov. 1 at 11:30 pm Eastern on Spike TV. The reality show follows 16 winners of the GT Academy virtual race series, played on Gran Turismo 5 for the Playstation 3 as they try to earn seat time in a real race car. Surprise, there's a social media component!
After beating 400,000 other online players, the top 32 players met at San Diego's Comic-Con in July to compete for a spot on the show. Autoweek editors also competed, but the best of us just broke the top 100,000.
The 16 winners from Comic Con headed to the Silverstone Circuit in England for a six-week, race driver boot camp. The show is hosted by ex-NFL linebacker Dhani Jones. Challenges include both physical and psychological competitions along with on-track driving in a variety of—we assume Nissan—performance vehicles. The players will be judged by drivers Danny Sullivan, Maryeve Dufault and Boris Said.
The second season will feature a social media component, like everything else everywhere. Viewers can go to www.GTAcademy.us on their phones and access videos, maps, polls and other stuff, with the obligatory opportunity to share.

- Annual Report
Annual Report
We have achieved a tenth successive year of growth, despite challenging market conditions.
The report shows that our total sales for the year were £245 million, which is an increase of 3.8 per cent on last year, with an operating surplus of £3.4 million.
Sales of digital products increased by 50 per cent over the previous year, and, for the first time, academic materials delivered digitally exceeded 30 per cent of our academic output.
Our Education group delivered a record number of new publications with accompanying e-books, interactive digital books, apps or companion websites, and Touchstone, the digital and blended English language course, has continued its high growth with new adoptions by major institutions on several continents. Cambridge Books Online, our digital platform for academic books, has also seen another significant increase in sales over the last year.
The year to April 2012 saw us working even more closely with other parts of the University: scholars from across the research spectrum helped to drive a large-scale review of our academic publishing to ensure we continue to meet the needs of the researchers and the scholarly communities we serve.
We also deepened our existing collaborations with Cambridge Assessment, resulting in joint Cambridge English branding, joint product development and a joint exam preparation unit.

Skillshare's mission is to transform education by empowering teaching and democratizing learning.
Skillshare is a community marketplace to learn anything from anyone. We believe that everyone has something they want to learn and something they can teach to others. This means our communities are really the greatest universities. Our platform helps make the exchange of knowledge easy, enriching, and fun.
One of the biggest benefits of working with Focus Lab on an ExpressionEngine project is our vast experience with the software. The longer you spend with a product, the better you know it, and we know EE inside and out. We've been building sites with it, building add-ons for it and teaching others how to use it for years. If you need guidance finding a solution for your EE project, we can help. Even if you just need us to lend and ear to an idea, we would love to help.
Web things optimised for Human Behaviour.
We make great web apps, sites, and doodads by caring about the humans at the other end of the internet.
The internet is made of people. Someone clever said that. We help our clients achieve their goals online by focusing on stuff that their sites' users care about; by treating visitors like they're smart but busy. It's based on a simple premise: if we understand a site's users — their needs and motivations — we can honour their expectations and help our clients achieve their goals.
It's not about bells and whistles either. 4thought.tv frequently tops Channel 4's community charts for comments, because we built a simple site that lots of people like to visit every day.
We also helped an independent sports shop around the corner to achieve a 6-figure online turnover in their first year by listening to their visitors.
Don't get us wrong — our clients were already great before we came along. We just helped them connect with their users a bit better.

I would not want to hear an apology or anything else from you. I think you should leave it alone.
I want to apologize to the other wife. We were friends before this all happened, and I never meant for it to happen, and I'm very sorry. But I can't tell if apologizing to her would just make her feel worse. Would you want to hear an apology in her shoes? Or should I leave it alone?

Masterson looking to help Tribe secure set
Perhaps it's only fitting that the Royals and Indians will play a rubber game to decide their series on Wednesday night. Cleveland entered the three-game set with a half-game lead over Kansas City for second place in the American League Central and a .500 record. After the Royals' 2-1 win in the opener on Monday night, they took over second place with a half-game lead and a .500 ...
Clevelands Guardian Angels push for missing child awareness
CLEVELAND -- Their red berets are instantly recognizable, especially after the international news stories on the homecomings of Gina, Michelle and Amanda. The Guardian Angels are an all-volunteer group, started in New York in 1979. The Cleveland chapter has 27 members, and plays a role in keeping missing persons cases in the public's mind, and has done so for many years. The members are ...
Indians bats come alive late to knock off KC
KC@CLE: Bourn singles home Raburn in the eighth CLEVELAND -- Better late than never for the Tribe's offense on Tuesday night against the Royals. A three-run eighth that was triggered by Michael Bourn's single down the left-field line sent the Indians to a 4-3 comeback win at Progressive Field to even the series at one game apiece. Bourn's hit drove in Ryan Raburn to pull the ...
Ex-Terps center Alex Len could go No. 1 to Cleveland Cavaliers in NBA draft
There was some thought that Alex Len's stock could have gone up even higher had the former Maryland center been able to attend private on-court workouts for a number of NBA teams picking at or near the top of next week's NBA draft. It now appears that the 7-foot-1 Len could become the No. 1 pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers despite being sidelined since early April after undergoing ...

Chisenhall returns as Indians third baseman
Email CLEVELAND -- As Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall spoke to media members in the clubhouse, he peeled a sticker off a fresh batting practice cap and placed it on his head.

Francona likes catcher Santanas athleticism
Email CLEVELAND -- Indians manager Terry Francona was asked about Carlos Santana's prowess behind the plate on Tuesday, a day after a wild pitch went through his legs and gave Kansas City the go-ahead run in the ninth inning of its 2-1 victory in the series opener. In 43 games at catcher, Santana has been charged with four passed balls, while Tribe pitchers have logged 29 wild pitches with ...

Cleveland Star
Cleveland Star | Source for Cleveland News & Ohio updatesThe Cleveland Star is essentially a local Cleveland newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Cleveland, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Cleveland, Ohio, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Cleveland Star.

5. | anorexia | ||
anorexia is an eating disorder. although comonly mistaken as a self-inflicted diet plan, it is not. in fact, anorexia is a complicated disease often cause by poor self-confidence, unrealistic body image, a cry for attention, or the need for control. friends and family who feel a need to help often comment in several ways; sometimes they flatter the person about how thin they are, sometimes going as far as to tell them they should gain weight because they are too thin, other times they comment how they haven't eaten lately and should. though most comments are provoked by worries and concerns it is often better to wait for the anorexic to confide in them. if they trust you, they will. and when they admit they need help they will ask for it. forcing a person to eat or maintain a certain body weight is the worst way to attempt to help. anorexia is a very serious and very personal problem. help your family and friends but be careful not to lose them in the proccess.
1. | anorexia | ||
Anorexia Nervosa, A serious mental disorder, where people (usually females) have a strong need to lose weight, a feeling that they're never good enough, often self-inducing starvation, excessive exercise, and many times engaging in other self-destructive behaviors.
People do not realize that Anorexia is a disease, and lord knows that if I could just "get rid" of it I would. It is HELL. DSM-IV criteria include: -Failure to maintain a minimally healthy weight, feeling they are too fat even though underweight -Anorrhea(Loss of 3 or more consecutive mestural cycles) Health Risks include: anemia osteoporosis malnutrition hypoglycemia loss of hair lowered body tempature Lanugo (growth of fine hair on the back and arms due to lack of fat to warm the body) dark bruises around the eyes due to protien deficiency ulcers tearing of the intestines due to lack of food Anorexia is a REAL eating disorder.
2. | anorexia | ||
A disease. It can't be "snapped out of". People don't realise that you don't have to be a living skeleton to be anorexic, you just have to be obsessed with losing weight. Anorexia is pure hell, and no-one choses to inflict it upon themselves.
3. | anorexia | ||
It's a DISEASE you retards. Someone with the disease can't just start eating like normal. For those of you who say it's only for rich teen girls with low self esteem, you're way wrong. It can stem from many things. So I suggest you keep your mouth shut if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Idiot: DUDE ANOREXIAC PPL NEED TO GET A LIFE AND JUST EAT ITS NOT TAT HARD
Person who knows what they're talking about: Shut up. You don't know shit. |
4. | anorexia | ||
Fun Fact: Anorexia is not Anorexia Nervosa! Anorexia is a symptom in which one refuses food. Anorexia Nervosa is a disease in which one refuses food for fear of becoming fat. See the Example! Bob has Anorexia because his small intestines are nearly swelled shut.
Jane has Anorexia Nervosa. She won't eat because she fears getting fat. |
6. | anorexia | ||
Anorexia Nervosa is a severe eating disorder that afflicts primarily young women, although men are also known to suffer from it.
Anorexia (from the Greek a- without; and orexis- appetite) is merely a symptom of Anorexia Nervosa in which the victim feels, largely from poor role-models, that they must become bone-thin in order to be considered attractive or to be accepted. From there, they abolutely refuse to eat, for fear of gaining too much weight and then being unable to lose it; they excercise constantly, trying to flush the fat (or lack, thereof, in most cases) from their bodies. In some extreme cases, a layer of fur will grow on the sufferer's body to keep him/her warm; because they have lost so much body fat, they can no longer insulate themselves. Many sufferers even hear a voice in their heads telling them how fat they look (despite the obvious fact that they are sickly and wasted away to almost nothing), thus further discouraging them. Like depression, anorexia nervosa and bulimia are not things that one can "get over". They are illnesses that require help. And poor role-models from the media, from peers, and from parents make the problem worse.
Barbie would be anorexic if she were a human... she wouldn't even have the 17 to 22% of body fat required to menstruate. If she were human, she'd have to be 7'2'', 130 pounds, and 40-18-33. Hell, she'd have to crawl on all fours just to support her unnatural proportions. Misinformation: Anorexia was the ancient Greek goddess of withering and starvation. |
7. | anorexia | ||
A mental disorder where a person feels a strong desire to lose weight. Contrary to belief, when an anorexic person looks in the mirror they don't see something different. They see themselves, but in an extremely over-analyzed way, and they focus in on the fat that they have. It's not about being fat, but HAVING fat, rather. For most people with anorexia, getting rid of fat is getting rid of failure and 'becoming pure'. These people usually are perfectionists in one way or another. A lot of them also have a lot of trouble saying no, and are afraid of not pleasing those around them. Anorexia is different from dieting. It is not self-induced. It is not caused by looking at pictures of Nicole Richie and deciding that you'd like to be glamorous and look just like her. It's a disease which is, basically, hell.
