Eames Splint. Picked one up recently on craigslist. Very inspiring Good Design.

In one simple object, it shows-

  1. Low cost/high volume doesn’t have to mean compromise.
  2. Simple can be smart. A lot of built in functions for “free” reduces complexity and need for additional parts/fasteners.
  3. Material innovation. Use of new wood molding techniques can drive all the above.
  4. Functional can be beautiful. As great as it functions, it is also sculpturally beautiful.
