Giraffe on fire
David Walker (Architect , Designer and Innovation Consultant)
Giraffe on fire is the title of a painting by Dali. It is also the title of a book of poetry by a Chilean poet.
But this blog is a reference to the UK design consultancy giraffe innovation which I founded with Robert Holdway in 2003 ( or thereabouts) So giraffe on fire is shorthand for WHAT IS HOT IN DESIGN ? and related fields such as INNOVATION: MANAGEMENT: NPD: MANUFACTURING
