[en]There’s an interesting story behind the creation of these office stationaries. Inspired by the differences as well as similarities they found in each other from chatting and discussing as a group, taking part in the TEDx Temanggung Workshop.

A while ago, Piranti Works, the producer of the wooden radio, Magno, held a workshop to process abandoned wood waste. This workshop is part of the TEDx event that’s being held independantly.[/en]

[id]Ada cerita menarik di balik produk-produk office stationery ini. Berangkat dari perbedaan dan persamaan yang mereka temukan lewat berbincang-bincang. Itulah yang dilakukan salah satu kelompok Workshop TEDx Temanggung ini.

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, Piranti Works, produsen radio kayu Magno, mengadakan workshop untuk mengolah limbah kayu hasil produksi yang tidak terpakai. Workshop ini menjadi bagian dari event TEDx yang diadakan secara independen[/id]

[en]The background is a combination of Indonesian and Japanese culture, Prananda Luffiansyah Malasan, Raditya Ardianto Taepur, Sachiko Shiraiwa, Remi Hasegawa, and Akihiro Tamura found various differances between themselves. One of them is the different impressions they each had of their trip on the way to the city of Temanggung, where Piranti Works is held.[/en]

[id]Berangkat dari latar belakang kultur antara  Indonesia dan Jepang, Prananda Luffiansyah Malasan, Raditya Ardianto Taepur, Sachiko Shiraiwa, Remi Hasegawa, dan Akihiro Tamura menemukan berbagai perbedaan diantara mereka. Salah satunya adalah perbedaan impresi yang didapat saat melakukan perjalanan menuju kota Temanggung, tempat Piranti Works berada.[/id]

[en]“For my first visit to Indonesia, which was yesterday, all I saw were a lot of animals and motorcycles, when they only have  roads fit for motorcycles. There is such a big number of motorcycles in this country, because no matter how shabby their houses are, these people can still own a nice motorcycle.”, according to our Japanese guests. On the other hand, for Prananda Luffiansyah and Raditya Ardianto Taepur, the nonstop 8-hour road trip was very tiring. “While extremely tired, we still tried to spontaneously explain the connection between both countries impression on the others’ cultures, and our product. Ours being the first thing that came into mind on Japanese’s Gundam, that ‘Gundam can beat Doraemon’. Feeling that these differences are interesting and worth preserving, they all agreed to turn this mutual feeling into a form of product.[/en]

[id]“For the first time I came to Indonesia yesterday, all I see are animals and motorcycles, which has a road only for motorcycle.  What a big number of motorcycles in this country, even how broken his/her house they always have a nice motorcycle.” Itulah yang dikatakan mereka yang berasal dari Jepang. Sebaliknya, bagi Prananda Luffiansyah dan Raditya Ardianto Taepur, perjalanan non-stop selama 8 jam sangatlah melelahkan. “Extremely tired, we tried to explain spontaneously what is familiar with the Japanese and the similarity with the workshop. Gundam has defeated Doraemon in our imagination.” Merasa perbedaan tersebut menarik untuk diabadikan, mereka pun sepakat mewujudkannya ke dalam bentuk produk.[/id]

[en]They went back in discussion, trying to find more similarities from each other. It was then they decided to create a business card holder, based on the two countries’ same habit in offering their name card when introducing themselves.

Starting as a media to create products out of wood waste has then turned into something special. The success of combining both and difference and similarity of the team’s culture has made this product worth talking about. It’s all about the story![/en]

[id]Mereka kembali berdiskusi, mencoba mencari persamaan. Dari sinilah kemudian diputuskan untuk membuat business card holder, berdasarkan kebiasaan di kedua negara yang sama-sama senang menggunakan kartu nama untuk memperkenalkan diri.

Cerita dibaliknya membuat produk-produk yang awalnya hanya berupa limbah kayu, akhirnya menjadi sesuatu yang istimewa. Berhasil menyatukan perbedaan dan persamaan membuat produk ini menarik untuk jadi bahan obrolan. It’s all about the story![/id]
