I can’t tell you how much I appreciate seeing and using products that are designed for not only perfect function but flawless design. To contrast that, nothing pisses me off more than something that was made, packaged, marketed, sold (and purchased) that flat out sucks. Theres nothing quite like the rediculousness of someone making something that does not even function in doing it’s core purpose. Nothing comes to mind immediately but there are numerous things that I have used that simply don’t do what they were meant to do. Whomever produces such garbage should be stuck in a room for the rest of their life living with the useless things they create…….okay so that’s a bit mean. They can have some food occasionally…and a bathroom and a window.

The 2008 Business Week design awards were just posted. It’s one of my favorite things to browse through the designs and see who designed them and of course check out the textures, forms and such. While I may someday get back into designing products for non MINI related markets, I still keep tabs on the industry as it inspires me to do stuff closer to my world. I have a few things I have been wanting to design for the MINI market that I have yet to execute but someday I will have time. In the meantime check these cool things out.
