Objects, decorative and functional?

July 24th, 2010 by Steve Swann | No Comments | Filed in Disruption, Great Design, Ideas, Innovation

I like the thinking behind this furniture design. It presents us with something unexpected. I particularly like that it encourages us to think about the objects in our lives as whether they are really what we think they are.

I think the question it asks is “Does the decorative and functional elements of design have to be the same object“? Take a look and let me know what you think.

here’s one of those ideas that seems so obvious – Sony Ericsson’s set of headphones that turn on and off as they are put in and out of your ears.

Of course!!
