Everywhere! Every time I see someone struggling with some object, I get a chance to re-evaluate and hopefully, improve it. But, only as a mental
exercise, since I have enough stuff on my plate.

Inspiration for me comes from nothingness. Four empty walls. A concrete dirty floor. A
damp humid air. These are the ingredients that fuel my creativity... to build... to design...
to think... a sort of ... or the lack of... nice things. The lack of fine design fuels my
design. www.deepinteractive.com

All you 'design buffs' ought to go to Amsterdam. Experimental design in furniture, clothing, sex toys..... you name it. But also many places to see the latest 'avant garde museum design' or the more ordinary stuff in furniture and ID. Great deal of second hand shops where you'll find the classics. It'll be fun

This place is not as stiffling as it may sound, it actually has a modern design. Its a recently built 6 story building with large glass windows which overlook an inner atrium and the campus. Anyone can walk in, and on sunny afternoons, the sunlight cascades through the second floor magazine section (you don't have to be a student to stay just act like one:)

It's Milan! Every where you look there's a showroom with BEAUTIFUL design objects. If you go there you understand why italians are such good designers. They're always surrouded by beautiful things.

As a design student my favorite places to absorb inspiration are within my design studio classes at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Apart from that though - you can't beat good old nature and her amazing designs.

It's by far one of the richest areas of design from crystal tean candle holders to furniture. All of it is done in the high standards of Scandinavian design and pride. I'd definitely recommend the B&O stereo shop as well as Illums, both of which are on the main walking street (Stroget).

The Science & Industry library is great. The only public place that I know of where you can experience an Aeron chair! (All hale Herman Miller, Bill Stumpf & Don Chadwick!) Check out Herman Miller site to learn more about the most comfortable chair invented. Anyway, as an (obviously) glassy-eyed neophite/student, my favorite design places are books about design/art history. As for physical places: I'm inspired by anywhere where there is outstanding design (either good or bad) in a tall city or the mountains.

BARCELONA.........Javier Mariscals work zone...best designs ive seen in years....kind of wacky but not as refined (serious) as the italians.
Unbelievable design shops for ID and furniture!

In Nashville there is a life size replica of the Parthenon. Even though it is fake it still is awe inspiring and is a great place to go and think.

New York has many famous sites, museums, etc. A new favorite is the Science and Industry Library at 34th street in Manhattan. The brand new facility is beautifully done with areas to work, internet access, as well as a full scale library. If you get a chance its well worth a visit
