At any given time, there are 15 to 20 IDEO teams in the field doing research for projects. We are a naturally curious bunch, and tend to collect quite a few artifacts from our trips. In addition to interesting foods, new turns of phrase, and the occasional non-contagious skin disease, we take photos of interesting things in the places we are.
When we see something remarkable, we capture it to show our fellow IDEOers at home in the studio. Now we are sharing some of our blink-worthy images with you. Enjoy!

“Dear Graffiti Artist, could you create a graffiti of Clint Eastwood? Thanks!”

Fish and Chips

Our London and Munich offices send “culture snapshots” to each other every week to share recent experiences and observations. Here, a swapped image shows a Londoner waiting for her fish and chips to be fried.
Summer Kilts
King's Cross station, London, England

Even the most stalwart of traditions evolve. Who would have guessed that something as sacred as the kilt would have a summer version, and that it would be a young man’s outfit of choice for a long train ride, presumably to Edinburgh?
Use What You Have

Thoughtless act: a potato as paperweight. Putting common objects to an unexpected use always catches our eye. One question though: What is a potato doing at a newsstand anyway?
