Impressive GRid 70 Showcase

GRid 70 (Grand Rapids innovation and design at 70 lonia) is one big surprise for me during today's Grand Rapids showcase trip. What they do is to "put creative professionals from different industries together", including companies like Meijer, Amway, Steelcase, Wolverine, etc. By creating an open space for creative personels from those companies, such as all of them, to "collaborate and create", they're looking for more inspirations to produce more new ideas.

It's quite a fresh concept for me. You can't hide in your own space to think about an idea. What people do now is more like team-work and to communicate with other people is important. It's also to my surprise that they have offices in Shanghai. Can't wait to check it out!

BTW, I'm really impressed by their working environment. Posters are on every wall even in the kitchen to provide some inspirations. Another glad thing is that I encountered the wall poster for Holstee firsthand, which calls for living your dream and sharing your passion. Really love it!
