Here is a rendering of our electric bike. If we start getting sparks like that, then we’re in trouble!
Congratulations to Ben for putting the rendering together.

I was browsing the Core77 website, and came across coverage of the New York Toy Fair. I couldn’t believe how much rubbish was on display. We have to start questioning ourselves as designers and as consumers ‘Is this the kind of thing we want our children playing with?’ In an age of mass consumption and with a rampant throw away culture it seems crazy to familiarise children at an early age with cheap, throw away products.

An interesting talk by Philip Stark; somebody who’s designs I’d never had much sympathy with before. The main crux of the talk is humanity’s continuing evolution, and how design can play a part in that.

This man makes a lot of sense. He is pragmatic, and straight talking, which is a breath of fresh air in the world of design.
