I think you get the point...
Product Tank: I like to think of criticism as constructive, so I'll do my best to defend myself at risk of further aspersions:
1.) The "Revel" in the title is a vestige of an initial attempt at wordplay on "CantiLEVER"-- i.e. "Can't I Revel..." Fail acknowledged. (Ken K's pun is better anyway.)
2.) While the leaning chair is a stretch, the contact case is simply another minimal DIY product design on KS and I figured that they might appeal to the same audience. I guess not.
3.) 100+ backers believe it; non-believers are more than welcome to continue sounding off in the comments.
(Maybe I'm better off just posting the pictures sans bombastic copy, like certain other design blogs...)
Secondly you then go on to try and claim that it is more functional than a leaning shape and a contact lens case. They are completely unrelated. Is it as functional as a wine rack, or just laying your bottle of wine on the floor?
Thirdly - there's no video! so we'll just have to believe the hype!
However, I do enjoy the precise and cold simplicity of the "Oblique".
