Alice Rawsthorn, the design critic of the International Herald Tribune, moderated a design session at Davos:
"Some of the world's leading designers were challenged to define what "good design" means now in a debate at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos last week. At the debate, which I moderated, each designer was asked to identify one example of "good" and one example of "bad" design, and to explain the reasons for their choices. What did they come up with?"
The answers came from Tim Brown (president of IDEO), Brian Collins (chairman of the Collins creative consultancy), Paola Antonelli (senior curator of design and architecture at MoMA), Hilary Cottam (social designer and founding director of Participle), and Yves Béhar, president of fuseproject.

Good design should combine usability with a certain delight to the eyes, ( visual delight )
The article wrongly credits the Kindle to Microsoft, not Amazon. Even in the photo gallery where the screen says 'amazonKindle' with the copyright amazon.com under it. Doofs.
Its not needed I don't want it! London as much more important problems than a new shape for a bloody bus. The bendy bus rules. This project should be canned now before it goes any further a big ft waste of money!!!!
