“The Pioneers of American Industrial Design stamp pane honors 12 of the nation’s most important and influential industrial designers. Encompassing everything from furniture and electric kitchen appliances to corporate office buildings and passenger trains, the work of these designers helped shape the look of everyday life in the 20th century. The stamps go on sale in July.” I’ll definitely be picking up some of these when they come out.
My great grandfather made stair railings and grape arbors out of this type of plumbing and I loved it. Does anyone know if you can buy these? If not, anyone want to try and make some with me?
“An umbrella is only as strong as the tension able to be applied to the fabric stretched across the ribs. Taut fabric across the frame equals a strong umbrella, but as soon as the fabric tears away from a spike, or comes away from the ribs and comes loose, the whole strength of the umbrella is compromised.” It seems almost ridiculous this hasn’t been thought of before.

Man, I wish I could find someplace to buy this. I’ve got some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket.
I absolutely adore these design solutions to everyday products. Dig the multi-adapter solution as well.

“HiddenRadio has either no user interface…or…is all user interface.” Radios and clever industrial design, two of my favorite things in one cool product. So. Awesome.
I’m more excited for this than I was for Helvetica and that’s saying something!
