Clerkenwell Design Week – what an amazing mix of exhibitions, events and installations this year! The festival’s 11th edition was spread across three days and a selection of the 100-plus showrooms in Clerkenwell, London.

Thanks to iiyama and Connection Furniture we showcased a 55” portrait screen of Video Window and the feedback was fantastic from architects, office designers, business managers, technology specialists and interior designers:

“A great aid in the design of hybrid-office workspaces”

“This isn’t just another video conferencing solution, the screen is actually creating an extension of physical space”

Take a look at our latest article on the website for more information.

Will the biggest functional art project ever created come to Bristol?

Portal Unity has big ideas. They plan to create biggest functional art project the world has ever seen. And we are right behind them!

Video Window powers the first ever pOrtals. Two futuristic looking circular digital screens that are currently placed in the city centres of two different countries. Enabling people to pass by and see each other, as if they were transported to that other city.

The idea is to bring unity to us all in these difficult times, to allow us to connect, communicate and break down barriers.

Video Window has always worked to break down the barriers companies in communicating with remote employees, or offices in different locations. So we were delighted to be able to help with this project.

And now design students at UWE are bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to the project, looking at how we can make these portals more effective, greener and even more immersive.

You can see the competition we’ve devised for the students evolve on our website or follow us here for more info’

Competition to design a live digital “portal” for Bristol City Centre is hotting up!

The original Portal was conceived and built by the not-for-profit Benediktas Gylys Foundation. The portal is currently linking cities in 2 different countries in Europe and Bristol wants to be the third.

The idea being that this becomes the biggest functional art project ever created, allowing people all over the world to connect, communicate and unify as they pass the portal in their city centre.

We’ve teamed up with Students from UWE Bristol’s BSc and BA Product Design programs and challenged them to design a new Portal that’s bolder, brighter and more environmentally friendly than the live ones currently connecting people 24/7 in Lithuania and Poland.

And WOW just look at what they’ve come up with!

Follow us for more updates as they happen…

Could Bristol be the Next City in a Futuristic Network of Digital Portals?

Video Window, the hybrid office specialists certainly think so. We’ve launched a competition with the Portal Unity Network to come up with a workable solution for Bristol to have its own Portal somewhere in the city centre.

UWE Product Design students are competing to come up with the design of the portal to reflect Bristol city and culture.

Since working with the Portal to power their design 24/7 we’ve been inspired by the Portal’s aim to unify people across the globe and we think that bringing the next Portal to Bristol would be fantastic.

What do you think?? Where should the portal be sited and why? How can the design reflect the values of the city of Bristol? We’d love to know your thoughts.
