 e 1997\, long before the Web 2.0 tr
 end toward co-creation\, Kohei Nish
 iyama has been running an innovati
 ve online product development comm
 unity. The system\, used by the des
 ign-centric Japanese retailer MUJI
  and soon to be rolled out globall
 y by LEGO\, has manufacturers worki
 ng with consumers to design produc
 ts - from inception to manufacturi
 ng. Started off as an ideal to mak
 e “people’s wishes come true”
 \, cuusoo.com is now synonymous wit
 h crowdsourcing. Mr. Nishiyama wil
 l be sharing with us how massive o
 nline collaboration can create sop
 histicated design products.\n\n西山
 浩平\n遠於Web 2.0成為”共同
 創造”概念大趨勢前的1997
 年起\, 西山浩平早已引入一
 個極具創意的網上產品發展
 社群平台。以設計為核心的
 日本零售店「無印良品」以
 及即將全球性推行採用此方
 式的LEGO集團\, 讓製造商從始
 到末與消費者共同設計產品

 能實現所想」的理念\, 至現
 今的cuusoo.com已成了「群眾
 外包」設計的俵俵者。西山

 網上協作創出精緻產品。\n
 \nDouglas Young\nDouglas Young launc
 hed the Hong Kong-based homeware a
 nd accessories company Goods of De
 sire (GOD) in 1996 with a mission 
 to bring better homegrown design i
 nto people’s lives. G.O.D.\, the 
 acronym which sounds like “to li
 ve better” in Cantonese\, started
  out by capturing Hong Kong’s ic
 ons and turning them into art form
 s and retail objects to be appreci
 ated as affordable art. Mr. Young’
 s designs are inspired by Hong Kon
 g’s unique cultural identity\, th
 ey’re often iconic but with a tw
 ist\, so people of Hong Kong can im
 mediately identify with them\, whil
 e putting a smile on their faces. 
 Mr. Young has the foresight to beg
 in collecting items of cultural si
 gnificance more than 20 years ago\,
  their G.O.D. Street Culture Museu
 m is now a database for current an
 d future designers to draw inspira
 tions on. When Mr. Young learned o
 f this meaningful event\, he gracio
 usly accepted the invite and lend 
 us a venue to make this happen.\n\n楊
 志超\n楊志超先生於1996年創
 辦本土生活品味店 「G..O.D
 」的宗旨是要將優質本土設

  廣東話俚語即「住好啲」
 \, 意思就是要提升生活質素
 \, 最初將一些香港代表物融
 入產品\, 變為讓大眾可欣賞
 的廉價藝術品。楊先生的設
 計靈感源於香港獨特的文化
 身份\, 往往以一些大家熟悉
 \, 而加進了鬼馬元素的設計
 為材\, 讓港人能即時發出會
 心微笑。早有遠見的楊先生

 化價值的物品\, 住好啲石硤
 HEA街頭文化館現已成為各設
