 * Delete as per nom, non-notable company. 126 actual Ghits out of 30200 reported, mostly in business directories, and going by that last page of results they seem to engage in blog Google bombing too. &mdash; Kimchi.sg | Talk 00:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

This company is pretty noticeable (to say the least) in the industry, with works in the Met museum, the Tel Aviv Museum and others. You can see the long list of publications on the company's website, and I included here a short list of google retrieved links - I can assure you that no Google bombing was done by Designfenzider,. The entries are all related to either bloggers that are excited about the designs, publication that had articles about the company and the designer (worldwide, see this month ID magazine, Wallpaper magazine, last week's NYT business section), stores that are selling the company's products and directory entries that got picked up (I guess. for good or worse) from dmoz.

The main designer, Ron Gilad (another article-that-should-be-written), is well known and established. Objects are sold world-wide from galleries in Paris, stored in Tokyo to the MoMA and Cooper-Hewitt stores in NY.

Of course, the issue if this or any other company should be listed in here is up for debate, but to say this is not a known company or that it was trying to skew search results is just incorrect. If anything, this article should be expended by someone from the Design industry or academic world. My two cents – it’s up to the rest of you (the world) to take it from here…

            


 * Thanks for the links - some interesting designs there all right. Afraid dear ingo is currently a bit outside my price range - but maybe when I win the Lottery :-) Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk
