short of embedding a scale in a seat
I'm not really sure.
Plate design is important, apparantly
dinner plate size has increased a lot
over 20 years and its hard to get hold
of smaller ones now, and when people do
eat from smaller plates they obviously
eat less and don't tend to go back for more.
what, if any, responsibility should a
designer have when catering to the
user who hasn't much common sense?
Should a table only be able to support
what might be reasonbly placed on a table?
Like this one, I think it might take my
weight and probably a little more but
is it perhaps too delicate? Or would
the person buying such a lovely table
be switched on enough not to stand or sit on it?
Ole Wanscher design, by the way.
Common sense?
I believe in common sense but sadly a lot of people don't use it. I don't think its right to blame a designer for not making a table strong enough to withstand a BIG person on it. I mean seriously tables aren't for standing!
If things aren't used for there intended propose you have no one to blame but it seems everyone is ready to make a quick buck or at least try. I'd file this one under frivolous lawsuits.
I type this as I stand on my Danish dining table. I kid. 😀
