Eames Splint. Picked one up recently on craigslist. Very inspiring Good Design.
In one simple object, it shows-
- Low cost/high volume doesn’t have to mean compromise.
- Simple can be smart. A lot of built in functions for “free” reduces complexity and need for additional parts/fasteners.
- Material innovation. Use of new wood molding techniques can drive all the above.
- Functional can be beautiful. As great as it functions, it is also sculpturally beautiful.
