GTF Three Dimensional Project
GTF(Graphic Thought Facility) is a design group in London. By using various materials such as EL lighting, concrete and alminium, now they frequently work on exhibition space design and 3 dimentional product design. They attempts to open new way to possibilities and dynamics of graphic design by fleeing from the spell of graphic design that is implicitly assosiated with 2 dimentionality.http://www.graphicthoughtfacility.com/http://www.mebox.co.uk/
