The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Braun

These images are everywhere these days and so they end up here as well. Teehee :) Right… So I guess Apple has an older brother (from another mother). I like Apple’s design, I really do. The firm’s whole image has been built by the help of great industrial designers, but damn. What is this I see? The designer Jonathan Ive imitating Dieter Rams of Braun; could it be? I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I mean I’m not saying that they just copied everything, but can you feel it? Oh Steve… Now you’ve spoiled it for me. But I loves you for this. You should, however, make one with a 15 inch screen. Oh what’s that? Oh we’ll work on that together later. Gotcha.

The Sacco seat by Zanotta is the first massproduced beanbag seat in the world. It is filled with expanded polystyrene pellets and, is after all those years, still in production. The great feature that makes this beanbag so comfortable is ” the functional ‘headrest’ area, where dislodged pellets condense to support the head when the chair is occupied.” It comes in different colors and materials. For more photos check the UnicaHome website.
