2006 IDEA Awards
Business Week has a rundown of all the winners of the 2006 IDEA Awards – these are the gold standard awards for Industrial Design organized and run by the IDSA. Some of the designs are so good they hurt. Like this sushi/sashimi plate that makes me want to commit suicide, it is so great and so simple. Design like this always make you think, “Why didn’t I think of that!!??”
This self-deploying tent makes me want to start camping. And this taxi concept is excellent – don’t know why nobody else ever thought to turn the passenger seat backwards..
I think if I was an industrial designer I’d actually want to get up out of bed in the morning… As opposed to now where I try to figure out ways to kill myself with the office supplies at my desk.
All this time I thought it was crippling depression that made me suicidal. Turns out it was just groundbreaking industrial design. Finally I can quit therapy. Thanks Chris!
you’ve been trying to kill yourself with office supplies ever since i’ve known you. makes me think that you should probably just go be an industrial designer instead.
I think this is a terrible idea since the parties involved must share the soy sauce.
Soy sauce is prepared to individual preferences, e.g., lots of wasabi or none at all, so, this plate would defeat its purpose.
