Recently, we celebrated our new office space with a lively and fun filled party aka Joby Lab Launch + Liquor. Over 200 people joined us to eat, drink, mingle and even dance a little. The drinks flowed liberally as we feted our lovely new setup designed by Philip Wood & CITIZEN: Citizen along with Derek Chen the rest of the Council design team who crafted the amazing white tables that you see in the pictures below.

In addition, we inaugurated the Joby Inspired: Wall -  a curated space which showcases creative work whose goal is to inspire and foster new ways of viewing. Philip Wood blessed us by setting the bar high with the showcasing of his new work titled The Pattern of Security series of objects derived and inspired by data protection envelopes. In Philip’s words:

The Pattern of Security, a collection of products and a book, together form what we see as a first draft, a response and an observation on our concerns (both real and imagined) with security in the contemporary age.

Our space was further enhanced with a collection of found photographs (visible on most of the walls) by Rich Hansen from Indicate Design Group. Thank you Rich!

We even created some fun pictures ourselves  with the help of an instant back resulting in a cool vintage feeling photographs.

Some very fun finds this week…

Shmoozing with Fallon

The Joby Gorillapod had a very high profile week. The Gorillapod SLR Zoom was found chilling on the set of Diggnation with Jimmy Fallon. Respecting good social graces, the Gorillapod decided to stay slightly off to the side, but what a great view!

Joby Inspired Dolls

You may have seen these creative and cheeky dolls at our Joby Inspired event in the fall, but now you can follow the instructions and make your very own! Designers at Design Glut were inspired to create these male and female characters using a Joby tripod and  toy like parts. The full details are now available to download.
