All in Good Design

Good Design: Chaco Sandals

The Chaco is an adventurist’s sandal designed to last a lifetime. They were first made in 1989 in the garage of a river rafting guide. Due to their cultish-like devoted customer base and high prices many people seek to stay clear of them. However, I caved about 3 years ago and bought my first pair.

Good Design: The VODA Heat Powered Stove Fan

A common deficiency in heating a room with a wood stove is that the heated air accumulates around the ceiling or dissipates off of the exhaust pipe instead of spreading out to fill the room. Stove top fans solve this problem by blowing hot air next to the stove into the rest of the room. Let’s look into the relationship between the fan, the stove, and the consumer for design principles we can apply to our future projects.

The LEGO Brick

The creation of the LEGO Unit was not only a meaningful piece of LEGO history but rather a fundamental player in modern LEGO design culture. It’s no surprise the market loves this toy. It’s proven so by buying more than 600 billion bricks produced to date. Enough for every person on the planet to have 81 pieces.
