Pantone Cafe, totally ephemeral, will be open from breakfast with coffee and croissants and will, throughout the day, drinks, sandwiches, focaccia, snacks and Italian ice creams. So mix all that with coffee, and surely that’s a recipe for success.įound via Brand Channel: Pantone Adds a Vibrant Swatch of Color to New Café in Monaco colour is life, and colour creates beauty, energy and passion. It’s worth remembering how established Pantone is given it’s been around since the 1950’s, so this relatively slow trickle of significant Pantone theme offerings, can be viewed in context. Not having been to either, I guess I should reserve judgment until I have. I still can’t make up my mind if all these Pantone themed establishments is bordering on the naff, or actually really very cool. It combines perfectly with the cultural place that is the Grimaldi Forum.Įspecially during the famous summer themed exhibitions.” Since, Pantone has evolved and collaborates with various industries in the world of fashion, design, art, painting, technology … His strong concept is recognized and implemented internationally. In 1963, Lawrence Herbert, Pantone founder created an innovative system of identification, color communication and correspondence in order to solve the problems associated with producing accurate color in the graphic arts community. One can now experience Pantone not just from their Pantone Hotel, but now also a delightful Pantone Cafe, located in the French Riveria, or more accurately, the Côte d’Azur.ĬONCEPT: “From 14 July to 9 September, the esplanade of the Grimaldi Forum will host the first colorful Pantone & Cafe. To the extent if can feel really quite patronising.Īnd we end with natures own efficient and ‘packing’ of a banana. However, some do make you wonder about the blatant attempt to pull the wool over our eyes, and to make ‘less seem more’, even though it often feels the complete opposite to what they are trying to achieve. Some, even many, brands are able to achieve the balance of product and packaging quite well, or at least to a point where you don’t feel you are being obviously ripped off. In this case for me, the obvious excess of ‘air’ and lack of content when you rip the back open, and the air escapes, makes me feel I’m being ripped off, rather than doing the opposite of trying to make me feel I’m getting value for my money. A normal size crisp bag, full of air and less than half full (often one third full) of crisps. The ‘packing’ of certain brands of crisps have always bothered me. These photographs clearly show the reality behind some types of product packing. What I particularly love about this post: How Packaging Works, over on Jonhson Ban’s blog, is how there is absolutely no write-up, no text, no copy, no written explanation or opinion. Fortunately I often do take a helmet mounted camera, and on this occasion had it set-up to take photographic stills every few seconds. This is one of a few times where I’ve literally feared for my life: being sideswiped off on a busy main road. The driver had basically started to overtake when an oncoming car meant the driver had to steer back over very quickly, leaving me just a few inches to keep the bike steady from the significant blast of air and noise. The second photograph simply shows how I so very nearly got sandwiched between the Shell tanker and the kerb, not to mention being clipped by the rear light and significantly sharp and heavy bumper fixtures. At this point I had already been forced to come dangerously close to the kerb, but when you see the second photograph you’ll see that I simply had no ‘wiggle’ room as the back of the Shell tanker drew up along side me and continued to close the space in front of me. You can see my my biking buddy in the distance. The first photo shows the tanker a little more than half-way in his overtaking of me, but already starting to close back in far too soon. What you can see in the photographs is a Shell tanker overtaking me, then start to close in on me. When a Shell Tanker Overtakes Cyclist Dangerously Closeīeen meaning to post about this for a while, then I forgot about it until a recent video went viral of a rather angry man tying to chase a cyclist and trips over, who confronts him about his ‘little too close’ passing manoeuvre.
