From Lebara to MyCall

Lebara was established in 2001 by Ratheesan Yoganathan, Leon Rasiah and Baskaran Kandiah, with the idea to build a telecommunications company that would make it easier for Norway’s multicultural society to keep in touch with their family and friends “back home.” The main focus was to provide easily accessible and cheap international phone calls from Norway.

After being bought up by Tele2, Lebara Norway successfully changed their brand identity with the help of NameAbrand and Brandlab Oslo.

McLellan Jacobs: Kayak 1

Ever since I first collated this project some time ago, I have been following the progress of Kayak 1 and as it seems, well worth the wait. Boat craft at its most stunning. New Zealander and designer Jamie McLellan has been in touch with news of the official website launch for Kayak 1, the first collaborative product launch between designers Jamie McLellan and Andy Jacobs.

The Kayak 1 is a lightweight, single person 
recreational kayak. Built using carbon fibre by America’s
 Cup boat builders in
 New Zealand, with
 timber detailing
 made by the country’s
 most highly regarded 
furniture maker. In addition to 
a gloss carbon finish,
 gold plated brass fittings,
 and teak timber work,
 Kayak 1 can be ordered in various 
colours, materials and
 finishes to suit one’s 
requirements, making 
it a truly bespoke
 product. Kayak 1 strikes an
 exquisite balance
 between contemporary
 materials, form 
and traditional
 nautical styling.
