Designbar
... to connect, educate, view and shop.

 Contacts  -  the ultimate design resource.
"An architect is only as good as his contact book" – this quote shows one example of the need for making connections in the design industry.
We have a rich and vibrant industry but it is impossible to find each other, we all work very hard in our own little worlds, and networking is time consuming and inefficient. Wouldn't it be good to have an easily accessible contacts directory?
We are generating a sourcing service that combines the benefits of a contact telephone directory, a reference library, a headhunter, a trade show and a professional association. As a member any designer, manufacturer or supplier is able to advertise their services on their individual web pages.

If you have any ideas, suggestions of what you want or criticism of what we are doing now, then please let us know by contacting us.
