Wait...Is the screen bigger than the keyboard?
Core77 just ran an awesome set of features about Braun's industrial design in the last century.
The kitchen appliances one is particularly great.

1972 and it still looks gorgeous.

I thought about doing a thread the other day. The debut was 20 years ago and I have wanted one for the past 10.
Not practical but love the design.

Nah, just perspective. Those were the glorious 4:3 screens though. The whole lid was slightly bigger than the bottom part for more protective design.

Sony Discman D-15. Timeless design, you'd never guess it's from 1988 lol.
Damn! That is incredible!
I had too look this up, the creator actually successfully Kickstarted production a few months ago. Might be ready for ordering sometime in the future? They look neat, although I'm looking more at mechanical keyboards myself these days.

ITT, I learn Braun are the masters of timless design, I have never studied product design, so I do not know the correct language in which to convey why I find the design of Most of Brauns products int this tread so timeless.
I guess the cleanness and elegance of the designs, the use of spacing,curves and just the balance in "weight" the objects give, the coffee maker the top half contrasts nicely with the bottom, again I don't have the correct terminology, I just find them very very appeasing and appealing toy eyes

I hated that body style. Nothing unique or interesting about it.
The third generation at least stood out:
It killed me when my dad sold his.

Not so much the design of the product as its packaging:
Flawless.
Macbook Pro of course, but it's been posted too much and everyone knows what it looks like.

Timeless design.
Uniquely recognizable.
Purebred pedigree.
Unmistakable lineage.
You could literally look at any 911 from any era and immediately recognize it as a 911. That is what I call an elegance in design to last the ages.

Why the long case?
Oh wow, thanks for this bump. I thought this thread was lost.
It's my favorite.

Oh, this thread ressurfaced. CoolMy new additions:
Thinkpad X1 Carbon
Definitely the most handsome laptop I've ever seen.
We deployed these to store managers at my job earlier this year. Needless to say, they were happy kids.
I think most of the ThinkPad designs look great, though, and they seem to hold up remarkably well to abuse.

Motorola StarTAC This phone was way ahead of it's time. Mind blowing when I first saw it.
Actually, a lot of Sony's stuff is legendary. Even Steve Jobs and his goto designer Jonathan Ive was a big fan of classy Sony:
I really miss 80-90's Sony and more generally japanese design. Now I understand why our parents use to love old stuff.

I want that water bottle. Where can I find it?
On the Philippe Starck watches..
Just looked up those watches on amazon.com and all the reviews seem to agree; the watches are beautiful however functionally they're terrible. The watches are apparently very difficult to see (as in what time it is) at night.
I absolutely adore these tiny voice recorders. I had one from my father (a really sturdy device, with lots of aluminum, sadly can´t remember the exact model) and spend so many hours babbling nonsense on these cute tapes as a kid. Sound quality was pretty rough, but had a satisfying telephone-like low-fi sound to it.
I recently treated myself to this subtle beauty here, after years of using cheap Bic pens (which are brilliant in their own way, but sadly a bit too messy for my taste):
(this one is the pencil model, I´ve got the ballpen, which looks almost identical)
Rotring was always a favourite brand of mine, this one is almost completely metal, except the red part.
Sansa Clip+:
I love how completely out of style this thing is. A very tiny OLED two-color display, basic navigation, no bells and whistles... but I have mine since about three years now and it´s still going strong. Battery still lasts a long time, and it can hold a ton of songs thanks to the microSD. It´s one of these basic, unremarkable things that simply work, day after day.

The new Mazda 6. Looks better than BMW and Porsche and all those. Such an awesome car.
The next gen miata is going to be co-designed by Alfa Romeo, so I expect it to be sex.

82-92 Trans Am works better with me.
Maybe because by the time I was seeing those 80s cars on the road most were worn out. Knight Rider coolness helped the Trans Am. And a nice white 92 Trans Am was across the street from me a lot.

To be a stickler, software is not part of product design. There is design in games, but it isn't industrial.
I have recently become obsessed with this turntable, The Pro-ject Carbon Debut. I really want to buy it but it is going to be a hard sell to the wife since we are currently looking to buy our first house. Maybe next year.

If you manage to convince her just add a little bit more and get a Rega RP1.
Or go crazy and get a RP3 or 6 or 8.
No but seriously, in the same price range RP1 is better than a Carbon.

Wow. So much wrongness in so few words. He didn't say industrial design, you did. and you're objectively wrong about the part in bold.
From the OP:
So anyway. Go bounce.
I hear they are complete shite though.

How about some context with some of these.
I.E. what the fuck is that, why do you like it etc.
I have a huge pet peeve about people posting vague shit, be it movie scenes/stills or some random image with no description. I guess it isn't surprising to see someone has done it in this thread. Took 10 pages for it to happen though.
Viao P, not sure which exact model.
this + the price tag are the reason why i didnt get one. But they offer a bluetooth only version in japan now
