i went to Furniture shop today .....this particular shop carries some of the best furniture brands in the world such as Kartell, Herman Miller, Magis, Knoll, Kartell, Alessi, Vitra, Moroso etc...as soon as i enter ..i had a big rush in my head ...looking at those furnitures design now ...21st century design in general .....most of them looking like same stream lines in different materials ..and suddenly design become "modern design" ...i just dont get it .....what im trying to say here is ..from my personal opinion .....imagine if i was living in Bauhaus era....i would design a furniture base on material ...since it was an era you can use almost anything you like ....so i would come up with something that uses metal ....why? simply because i want it be stronger than wood ...but not as heavy as wood ....but now if i would ask to design something today ..... i have to come up with concept, proposal, ideas, ergonomics, aesthetics, form, functions, materials......and materials that don't destroy the world we living in ,safe for human and ecological systems balh blah blah...

after all these considerations of design process... we designers can only come out with a crappy looking design ?...that's sucks ...because if this is the case ...what we design today ...not gonna feel the same in 50 years time ....or am i gonna still think in 50 years time ...if I'm going to futuristics furniture shop in well developed Kuala lumpur ....I'm still going to buy Eames Lounge Chair that was design in 1956....with Molded rosewood plywood..... Black leather upholstery....and Aluminum base....?

i can imagine back then when people listening to gramophone era sitting on Eames chair ...then turntables....radio ..boombox....cd player....mp3 player....ipod....etc... but still enjoy listening to music on his or hers Eames chair ...by now i can see myself ....sitting on my Eames chair in my 60's ....and listening to my dusty LP....

how do we design desirable object in a mass production world?.

is first to understand.......

Inside Canon Cameras destruction site.
If you ever wondered why it is so hard to find low-priced cameras of the previous year maybe here is a response. Canon workers hammer on old cameras to make them disappear permanently from the market and to prevent re-appear on the shelves of Chinese commercial centers devoted exclusively to gadgets.

gone baby gone!

soon UBS sticks by the sheet everybody .....

I've been designing RFID chips for about a year now ....the technology has been here more than 15 years ago .....your job is to make the designs still works /acceptable/fresh for the mass market ......same goes to this USB technology ....these guys(designers) think so we don't have to .....its sort of like ...to meet a need,.....fulfil a desire ....or to put a smile in our everyday life....we designers worry about those stuff....we worry about stuff ..not in general but ....in particular .....that's us the designers ....
