Affordable Design

Be careful for the ‘Ikea tipping point’, after a certain percentage of Ikea stuff your entire room looks like it’s from an Ikea catalog.

Truer words have seldom been spoken. Of course isn’t just “Ikea”.

As a "“designer” I’ve always been attracted to well-designed objects, regardless of their age. Most recently our digital kitchen scale died. On the verge of replacing it with another electronic version, I remembered an old spring scale that was my great-grand parents’; easily a hundred years old and still functional. And while it will not convert ounces to grams, it is capable of measuring fractions of an ounce … which is more than close enough for kitchen work.
