Design for All

A great ad and a long overdue thank you to the work of unknown industrial designers everywhere (OK and perhaps those unknown fashion and interior designers and architects too). While a few known names seem to get all the pub, some of which are not even real industrial designers but actually architects in disguise, most industrial designers toil in anonymity all day and all night in search of that perfect balance between form and funtion. The little bit of satisfaction a good design can bring to consumer experience is what makes it all the wortwhile to any good industrial designer. Not sure why Isaac Mizrahi got to sneak his name into this ad, but the otherwise generic utilitarian approach is a nice way in which to raise the level of awareness and educate the often too materialistic brand oriented American consumer pays to good product design.
