Vi fik rigtig mange gode kvalificerede henvendelser på vores opslag. Tak for interessen.

I juni måned 2009 går vores udviklingsdirektør på barselsorlov, og derfor har vi brug for én til at overtage nogle af de opgaver som hun har haft.

I det Johannes Torpe Studios er en mindre designvirksomhed, har vi behov for at den vi ansætter, kan spænde bredt over flere forskellige arbejdsfunktioner.

Vores udviklingsdirektør tager sig i dag af alt fra forretningsstrategi for Johannes Torpe Studios, over strategi og konceptudvikling på projekter/kunder, new business, projektledelse, kunderelationer, PR, tekstarbejde og økonomistyring.

I det der er tale om et barselsvikariat skal du selvfølgelig ikke være involveret i alle de ovenstående processer. De primære funktioner/områder vil være:

• Projektledelse (herunder opbygning/vedligeholdelse af kunderelationer, organisering af projekter internt/eksternt, tidsplanlægning, budgettering, mersalg mm.)
• Strategi og konceptudvikling (alt fra pitches til nye opgaver på eksisterende kunder)
• Drift og organisering af kontoret. Det praktiske som får hverdagen til at køre smooth (overordnet planlægning, styring af ugemøder, koordinering af ressourcer mm.)
• PR (push, opfølgning og udsendelse af pressekits mm.)

Johannes Torpe Studios består primært af designere og arkitekter, så du vil være den der skal binde alle trådene sammen.

Perioden for vikariatet kan være fleksibel, men strækker sig som minimum fra juni (eller evt. efter sommer) til og med december 09. Det kan dog godt være at perioden bliver længere, så du skal have mulighed for at forlænge hvis det bliver aktuelt. Dog er ambitionen, at vi får opbygget så godt et samarbejde at der kunne være mulighed for en fastansættelse (som projektleder) i forlængelse af vikariatet.

I det der er tale om et vikariat er det vigtigt at du er flyvende fra starten – der er ikke lang tid til at arbejde sig ind i processer, projekter mv. Derfor skal du have erfaring fra lignende jobs. F.eks. har du arbejdet i reklamebranchen som projektleder eller med styring af større projekter. Derud over er det helt afgørende at du både taler og skriver flydende engelsk.

We finally went live with the blog! Over the coming weeks we will be backlogging a bit – to come up to speed with what has happened the last couple of years. Stay tuned for more posts!!

You can read his profile (in Danish) on the website for the program.

Its also possible to follow the show via podcast.

At this point we have just finished the design of next generation flashlights targeted divers. It’s a really cool flashlight that will definitely set a new standard within this area…..

We are looking so much forward for the launch in 3 months time….

There’s a lot of cool features with these lights, like the charging mechanism, the modularity the materials and much more. Check their webpage out here!

And what’s even better, we started working on the next generation of diverlights for the company!!

From Deco Magazine sep. 2008 – NO. 79

Subu Restaurant in Beijing was what really opened our eyes to the Asian part of the world. It allowed us to see how fantastic projects we could actually do there – while working with really nice and professional people.

We are now very focused on the Asian // Chinese markets – and we spend a lot of time out there. Actually Johannes has been there four times already in 2009. It cannot be long before we open a Shanghai based office – anyway it could be really great.

Subu has been a great ride for us – and it still is.

We’ve been featured in more than 100 articles, frontpages etc. over the last year’s time!

Previous to Nasa Johannes had primarily been focusing on graphic and webdesign. But with Nasa the world saw his talent as a designer. And he completely changed the expression of his holistic focus. Through the interior designs Johannes has been able to create experiences – in crazy and wonderful universes.

Nasa has been going strong for more than 10 years – and is still one of the most popular nightclubs in Copenhagen. It has been appointed numerous awards and been appointed top 10 nightclubs of the world.

A few years ago we gave it a facelift (as it is all white) – and with those minor alterations maybe it can last another 10 years…..

A french online magazine writes about NASA nightclub. To check it out please read here here, if you know your french!??!

Mormor won the Danish Design Prize in 2007. But Johannes Torpe doesn’t believe in design prizes. He believe it takes up to much time and money to participate – and that’s not what design is all about… However when the producer HAY CPH told us that we where nominated – and when we won – we were of course both proud and happy……

Read the funny article of what this sofa can be used for (in Danish) here.

Check out the article at Boligmagasinet.dk where Johannes Torpe and Rune RK talks about Mormor as well (in Danish)

Its also cool to check out the article about Mormor here at Danish Edge, where its detailed why it won the Danish Design Prize in 2007

Johannes Torpe was interviewed in the greek magazine Casa Diva in March 2009. Read the greek interview here:
