Mobile Hard Drive | LaCie
LaCieのモバイル用HDDのデザインが素晴らしくて、ちょっと欲しい今日この頃。こういうシンプルなデザインは大好き。ケーブルが収納されるのも実用的でナイス。いっつも思うけど、ケーブル邪魔だもの。
　
デザインはイギリス出身のプロダクトデザイナー、サム・ヘクト。深澤直人のIDEO JAPANにもいたことがあって、無印良品の製品“Fan”も手がける。2002年には建築家と組んでIndustrial Facilityを設立。そのオフィシャルページに、日本製の定規が目安として写真に写りこんでいるのは面白い。

design is not art.
design must be commercially oriented and practical.design itself has no value at all. the value of design cannot be appreciated until people find it useful and recognize its importance.

however, many designs on the network, called web design, have already transcended obstacles such as ethnicity and language, and created designs based on a variety of concepts. however, because its definition is incomplete, the question of what the web design is based on, whether it is based on programs or on usability, remains extremely ambiguous. inconsistent design turns out to invite confusion.

however, on the other hand, we are, to tell the truth, sick of the proposals and the movement of the so-called w3c and the like about what should be the criterion.
should we emphasize freedom or design in web design?

web design has just begun. there is infinite room for improvement. consequently, web designers should make every effort to spend time on experiment and inspection as well on fostering a cutting-edge sense.
