A thread about Industrial Design.

Industrial Design. Everything that is sculpted and formed to appeal to our tastes (and fads), of to have the object fit for use (ergonomics), or fit for purpose (the results counts. . .) or fit to the budget ($$). Please add your pictures of what struck you as nice design. It started with professional designers during the period called The Industrial Revolution. It gave beautiful objects. And objects that have a second life. Objects trouvées (that's what Marcel Duchamp called his Ready Made.)

To kick off: 

a nice machine for a barista in the Huit Clos restaurant, Beaune, France. It's called Adonis.

In the vineyards (here in France, Burgundy), much attention is paid to capabilities, multi functionality. Machines must be able to fulfill many purposes along the year. Every bolt, attachment is thought out to be a perfect fit. In Italy they use Lamborghini's in the vineyards, here they have a less high esteem 😉 of total design. Form follows function.

Let's look at something simple, something not thought of as design. This is a soap bar. No, it is more. It appelas to a clientèle that likes vegan etc.

It is soap, yes, but of premium price, and hence presented as very basic, with simple hemp rope, with a cloth you use in the sauna.

Premium Savon de Marseille - at €15 a bar . .  now that is really a trick.  It has everything in its form to merit the handmade status (but it comes from a factory).

At the annual Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, where students of the Design Academy present their final examination work.

Well, this really looks like egg; in fact she worked to create the thin egg shells on a large scale and made several mock-ups.

When I saw them they were black. But this one(probably) has the Telex-paper tape input device on the right, so very modern.
