| ... boxlike shapes....and IBM still has a German Design director in Richard Sapper. Nokia OY with Motorola and Samsung the largest cell phone manufacturer in the world, does not show much of it's Finish origins or culture in the design, and yet they were without any doubt pioneers in the field, and their early models certainly were recognizable Finish. Sometimes it just is not convincing enough for world markets. One can hardly deny that Olivetti tried very hard, and had incredible talented people on staff, but Italian cultural standards for small keyboard oper ... | |||||

| I guess that... the answer is yes and no. Generally speaking culture and cultural content, unless directly related to function (eating with fork and knive versus chopsticks, seating height etc.)has not been a large part of any design education. It might be regretable but cultural content, as you can see on any website of any design school (with a few exceptions) has often be reduced to the "taste of the day" and in the best cases the "flavour of the week" I am not saying or taking this lightly. I have been there and know how difficult it is to teach cultural ... | |||||

| . Very relevant, Thierry, the design of the penalty spot (loose earth, it would seem) obviously made it difficult for Beckham and others in the penalty shoot out last night. And perhaps Rooney's ankle wasn't as well designed as it should have been. However he fact that the Scottish tean seems designed never to beat any other nation at football means that we miss out on all these moments of drama! | |||||

| I'm not a hundred percent cer... I'm not a hundred percent certain, but I believe that Restoration Hardware has exclusive rights to the Mitchell Gold Luc sofa now. It may be difficult to find the sofa at the price David bought it for, especially in a decent fabric. You may want to look at the Claude from Mitchell Gold. It's exactly like the Luc but with a 2 cushion seat instead of 3, and there are a number of retailers that carry it. I purchased the Claude sleeper for my guest bedroom when they were having the 20/20 sale a few weeks back, which made the pric ... | |||||

| ... for cast objects, would present an exception; can we think of others? Wright was one of the first to point out that, for instance, machinery for milling wood is happiest when producing straight pieces with parallel edges. So, too, are processes of rolling and extrusion. Therefore, in these examples, at least, "extreme simplicity IS easy to produce." So, when is it not? Is it when we wish to join and fit two or more pieces together that extreme simplicity is more difficult? (I realize it is difficult to generalize, and we are talking about dozens of ma ... | |||||

| ... and the traces of the production process in the end result. Unfortunately David Pye's strenght is not in industrial processes... As Stephen pointed out extreme symplicity is rarely easy to produce, and Van Seeveren, Van Reeth and a whole group of other flemish collegues of Gerrit have demonstrated this clearly. A few years ago I was approached by Pawson's office who send me drawings for a range of cookware to be produced by a prominent European cookware manufacturer. I was asked to look into it in order to make it "producable". He is indeed a well known and ... | |||||

| ... the machine tools, and the methods all lend themselves to the making of such objects most easily when they are "plain;" decorating them involves extra steps, either in mold-making or in mdifying the object after it is made. Yet, we persist in the idea that one pays more for a well-made, plain object "of good material" than one which is cheaply and gaudily decorated. The truism applies perhaps to shapes which, while simple in appearance, are difficult to form successfully, taking longer or requiring more skill. Certain hollow objects, or ones in which co ... | |||||

| I suppose the suck products... I suppose the suck products point more towards the humourous aspects of design, which (certain products at least) raise the question "what is this for". As to whether they are beautiful or not, that's another question. I think its difficult for us to exclusively say that beauty will always follow function, there are bound to be exceptions, just as there are bound to be some who will see beauty in an oil refinery. It might therefore depend upon one's personal definition of beauty, just as in any artform, one might prefer one sty ... | |||||

I can't talk about your personal reasons, but financially you will spend more educating yourself and selling yourself than school costs. Moreover, you will waste alot of time making mistakes that a professor could have prevented by saying early in your process, "whoa...no that's no good". Good luck, I think it is possible, but difficult | |||||

| Cheers, b And science focus, well, yes, of course. I've spent the last 25 years of my life focused on science, kind of difficult for me not to view things with that as a lens.But for me I kind of like that aspect. It gives my creativity a basis to fall back on. Sort of a proof to my hypothesis, as it were. | |||||
