Just read this in a post by Stelfox in the "Dissensus men" thread:
Which got me thinking about something I've often talked about with mates:
Why does everything designed in the last 10-15 years seem to have that ergonomic, "organic", pod-like look? Cars, electrical appliances, furniture, packaging (the new HD disk boxes are a recent example) loads of things. Was there an actual movement/trend in design to make this happen, or was it just an idea that spread due to its practicality? I remember someone telling me that the Air Max 95 was a big influence on modern design, but it seems to have started before that.
Any design bods know what I'm talking about? A bit of the history behind it?
i do want a good watch — preferably a vintage stainless steel tag from the seventies, the ones that are very simple but quite brutally designed with no ergonomic rounded edges like they have these days
