This is a napkin sketch of Berlin's manhole cover by the German designer Marcus Botsch, one of the first sketches up in the DESIGN UNIKAT online gallery. Another gallery with glossy pictures? Not at all, this gallery is all about those dirty sketches, from plain paper to dirty beer coasters. In a time where designers are Gods, Germany's iF design (well known from the iF design awards) supports a smart move. DESIGN UNIKAT is an online gallery for original design drawings, initiated by DESIGN UNIKAT in Hamburg. The online gallery makes it possible to view and access drafts -- one-of-a-kind specimens -- in industrial and product design. Fans and colleagues can purchase these drawings. New submissions are also welcome: design drawings from the field of industrial and product design of products that are already on the market and were captured on paper and signed by the designer in person.
Whether our design drafts will reach the status Andy Warhol's soup cans, time will tell... For now, the gallery offers a nice alternative to those smooth rendered 3D visuals out there and hopefully inspires more creatives to document their design process (!)
