Hi gang!

I'm working on a project and I need your input and this is the best place to ask....

I need 20 design icons from the 20th century 'til today

It could be everything... like the kitchenaid mixer, to the VW beetle with the iPod in the middle... I try not to get too auto-related heavy or too furniture heavy. Tea kettles to Stark juice salif and everything in between... Icons...

Not buildings or case study houses please!!! ; )

Thanks for your help...

regards,

-joel

20 design icons... Now that'...
20 design icons... Now that's a toughie! I just don't see how just twenty would do any justice, and would leave highly subjective results. Debates would ensue and eventualy entire civilizations would crumble.
