World Industrial Design Day
Posted by: Kootz on 29th Jun 2010 in Creative Report
It's World Industrial Design Day! More information and a list of celebratory events around the globe is here. Not a huge amount happening in the UK - new government take note.
So, by way of personal celebration I'm listing five industrial design classics that I have used today:
1. Pentel P209 0.9mm automatic pencil.
Nothing draws a line quite like it; and if it's good enough for Norman Foster, it's good enough for me.
2. Le Creuset saucepan.
They weigh a tonne and are no good for scrambled eggs but who cares - they'll outlast just about everything else in the kitchen.
3. Swiss Army Knife.
So far these are all objects that last forever and are perennially useful. I used mine today to help my eight year old put up an Arsenal poster.
4. 27" iMac.
Super-fast and super gorgeous to use, with Snow Leopard adding to the grunt factor.
5. Stanley Powerlock tape measure.
A tool that I use every day (it sits next to my computer). Not for measuring things but for visualising the size of things.
