THE SUPERGUIDE SERIESThe pioneering superfuture superguide travel series was originally created in 1999 for the globally minded fashion and design related professionals who needed to stay informed of the freshest establishments around the planet. Starting in Tokyo, it was a reaction against the typical tourist driven recommendations and formats available at that time.
Originally available online only, superfuture has become synonymous with detailed city shop reviews and maps, which developed into custom itineraries and guides for both private and corporate clients. Soon after this followed a series of periodically edited downloadable PDF city guides. To date superfuture produces and maintains 11 cities worldwide. With the introduction of app tech-nology, superfuture also created an iphone app for Hong Kong and Tokyo.
superfuture now presents its third version of the series with its FIRST EVER PRINT EDITION in collaboration with Hong Kong retailer and publisher WORKING UNIT – the team behind the Hong Kong based KAPOK brand.
BACK TO THE SUPERFUTURE superfuture founder and producer Wayne Berkowitz explains: “New technologies will always keep emerging - though there is still something satisfying about holding an old-skool printed map when discovering a city”... He continues: “Looking at my smartphone screen is the last thing I want to do on a holiday – sure – it’s great for taking Instagram pics, but trying to multitask and view maps and read lists on a tiny screen can quickly become stressful”.
“It’s pretty obvious that these days’ people have increasingly limited attention spans; zero time to read lengthy guidebooks, and zero patience for research. I feel this is exactly the sort of city guide that is suited to our hyper technological lives - one that is highly curated and simply informs users of the definitive places they need to see. no more. no less... and a clear map to help them navigate. One that they can scribble on with a pen and will still be there when their phone battery inevitably runs out!”.
THE SUPERNEW MINI GUIDE FORMATThis new simplified format is a easy-to-read hand held folded list of short, sharp reviews and detailed maps. A curated best selection of current shops, food and dining, nightlife and culture. “Hong Kong is the perfect city for exploring on foot as you never know what you’ll discover down a little lane, up a flight of stone stairs, or inside one of the thousands of jam-packed commercial buildings” says superguide editor Kate Springer. “We have tried to capture that colorful, eclectic vibe by carefully selecting a mixture of worthy openings and timeless gems — all laid out on easy-to-use maps with suggested walking paths”. The folded layout is packaged inside a protective sleeve cover. Overall dimensions [210mm x 70mm x 6mm with 10 panels].
THE FUTURE PRINTERNETFor those still hooked to their phones, the guide also provides an interface to connect to a downloaded version of the print guide via QR code. superfuture sees this hybrid convergence of PRINT with INTERNET as part of a new future ‘PRINTERNET,’ where traditional printing has a resurgence with technological innovation. We aim to develop this with the series as we add new city titles.
CUSTOMIZATIONThis new format has been designed as a fully expandable graphic system and can be customized for brand customers.
SUPERFUTURESince 1999, the superfuture travel website has expanded into a comprehensive database of over 30,000 listings as well as an off-shoot community forum supertalk with an active community of over 75,000 members who have made almost 3,000,000 posts. super-future also organizes city retail concierge tours for groups as large as 100 people and creates custom graphic cartography.
superfuture clients have included PRADA, miu miu, NIKE, LEVIS, Pinterest, GIVENCHY, Lane Crawford, Netflix and Marks & Spencer, It has appeared in publications including TIME magazine and The Financial Times, and worked on collaborations with Ace Hotels and Google. superfuture currently publishes PDF superguides for Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Sydney, Shanghai, London, Berlin, Hong Kong, Beijing and Bangkok. superfuture publishes iphone app superguides for Hong Kong and Tokyo.
