I wouldn’t say I am a car person. I like cars just like any other things, like electronic devices, architecture. But not as much as food or music. I would say I am interested and I like beeing invited to events about cars (especially design related) but I am not that passionate about it. Until […]
Two weeks ago I was once again invited by Mercedes. You might ask yourself why I always do that? Because it’s freakin’ awesome (and interesting). Since my first impression in April 2010 my picture of Mercedes-Benz didn’t loose a tiny bit of glance. The events are always perfectly organized and I always feel more than […]
One of the most famous quotes about design was made by Charles Eames “The details are not the details. They make the design.” And Mercedes-Benz invited me and some other bloggers to Munich in order to show us how they are reaching their design by adding all the details you can experience through the four […]
Last week I was in Frankfurt for the International Motor Show. As I learned (and I learned a lot during that trip) the Motor Show in Frankfurt is one of the biggest car fairs. It was quite cool seeing so many IAA shuttles driving through the city, many people with badges around their necks, mostly […]
While I was in Shanghai, I got the honor to meet Mike Horn. Mike is a professional explorer from South Africa, based in Switzerland, but lives on the sea. He is an interesting man – he is like a young, energetic Jacques Cousteau. Mike started as an extreme sports man and went on his first exhibition in 1997. […]
As previously announced I went on a trip to China. Mercedes invited me to a press trip to Shanghai. I needed some time to work up all the impressions by this extreme journey. It was not that long but pretty stuffed. It was my first trip to Asia, and I was really excited. All the […]
Photo by Tim Franco at flickr In exactly two weeks, 14 days, or 336 hours – I will be on the way to China. 上海 is according to GoogleTranslate and Wikipedia the original Chinese sign for Shanghai, a city of 19,210,000 people. It is almost the other side of the world, and definitely a complete different […]
If you are an attentive follower of Better Taste Than Sorry you remember that I took part of a brand workshop of Mercedes a few months ago. I reported about the whole thing. And two weeks ago I was invited for another brand workshop, this time it was Smart. Also part of the Mercedes brand […]
In my last blogpost I described what happened at the Mercedes-Benz Brand Workshop but I think the point why I really liked the whole event did not came out clearly. At first you can’t say that you would not like to be invited to a short trip into a luxury hotel, tasty food, and great […]
Like I reported a few days ago, Mercedes invited some bloggers from all over the world to a Brand Workshop in Stuttgart. And this is the report of two amazing days we spend with interesting insights, inspiration and an ongoing exchange. Maybe you ask yourself, why did they do it? Why did Mercedes invite blogs […]
