Weekly Design Roast

The Weekly Design Roast, #8

The finest of industrial design

By Rain Noe - July 19

"While most beds provide convenient ingress/egress from the sides, I wanted to design one where you need to crawl in and out through the foot of the bed. I also wanted it to be difficult to make the bed each morning."

"As you continue to sit on this wallet over time, it will develop a beautifully crunchy, splintery patina."

"Every time I close the door I yell 'Beam me up, Potty!' It never gets old."

This seat looks like what Drakkar Noir smells like.

"My target market: Carpenters who love Tron."

"My design conveniently stores the staples in the top of the stapler. You know, the part of the stapler that you press on with your…hand. Okay, maybe I didn't think this through.... Hey Jeff! Jeff! Do you know if they make blunt staples?"

"It's glass, inherently unstable, and filled with both water and a living creature. This is what I call exciting design!"

"I wanted to design a chair that you can only clean with an air compressor."

"I'm trying to design a series of sleep pods that make it look like you're being vomited by Pac-Man."

"I wanted the front end to look like a giant Cyclops grouper fish having sex with a hammerhead shark."

In defence of the stapler, it looks like there is a cap that covers the staples. It's removed in that image.

The rest is A+++

To give the lone fish that false hope of death, of freedom.

Like this series a lot! I'm pretty sure you should and could do a design roast on the myriad of pointless watch designs out there, and in addition the car industry seems to be an endless supplier of dubious designs.

It is great that this site has both praised and rightfully roasted Luigi Colani. That's what I call fair and balanced. I still love his crazy truck designs.
