Adobo Design Week 2019: Tim Kobe, the Man Who Designed the Original Apple Store Comes to Manila for the adobo Design Conference

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Two powerhouse creatives are coming to Manila in May as adobo magazine welcomes them as the keynote speakers for this year’s THINK DESIGN THINK Adobo Design Conference on May 10 at the Samsung Hall of SM Aura Premier: Tim Kobe, Chief Executive Officer of design firm Eight Inc, and Paolo Malabuyo, Director of User Experience at Google Silicon Valley.

Tim Kobe is credited for designing the Apple Store. He has worked closely with the late Steve Jobs, and even designed the homes of Apple directors in the United States. Currently, he leads Eight Inc, a design firm that approaches a holistic and interdisciplinary experience to design. The firm crosses over to several disciplines: strategy, architecture, exhibition, interior design, product, communications and branding.

After founding what is sometimes dubbed as Apple’s best kept secret, Kobe went on to establish offices of Eight in London, New York, San Francisco, Honolulu, Tokyo, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore. In 2005, Kobe became a trustee at Art Center College of Design and now serves as Chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Grabhorn Institute in San Francisco California.
