Product designer Vadim Kibardin has some of the most amazing concepts not yet in production, which is quite a shame as my credit card was already out the minute I saw the image of the black and white clock.

The problem is that every rule related to, or governing, design is ultimately ridiculous. In this book we have collected the most talked-about rules and the viewpoints of designers and thought leaders who live by them or hate them..

“The unique natural beauty of woodland appeals to all our senses and forms the basis for our Waldilla solid wood flooring designs. Every plank retains the original curvature of the tree from which it stems.
