A Library Slide by Moon Hoon. Architect Moon Hoon recently designed the Panorama House (scroll down), in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea.

It is regarded as one of the poorest slums in Latin America, a village where people live among a sea of garbage. Incredibly, the landfill itself is the primary form of subsistence for many residents, who pick through waste for items that can be used or sold.

Nuts.com is exactly what it sounds like: an online retailer of every kind of nut, from peanuts, pistachios, pecans and pine nuts, to cashews, almonds and filberts, in salted, unsalted and organic varieties. Founded by “Poppy” Sol Braverman in 1929 as the Newark Nut Company, the family-owned business has grown from a stand in Newark’s Mulberry Street market into a thriving site that sells over 2,000 items and has annual sales of over $20 million. The company has been named one of the “Top Tastes of New Jersey” and featured on “Rachel Ray,” and with the slogan “We’re more than just nuts,” also offers dried fruit, snacks, chocolate, coffee and tea. The company first launched its site in 1999 with the slightly confusing name/URL NutsOnline.com––a second choice after it found the URL Nuts.com was already taken.

Oui, et tant mieux ! Telle est en substance la réponse du premier concerné lorsqu'on lui fait remarquer la troublante ressemblance entre ses réalisations pour Braun dans les années 50 et la famille de produits Apple depuis le retour de Steve Jobs. Interviewé par Fast Company à l'occasion des 50 ans de son système d'étagères 606, Dieter Rams (79 ans), icône vivante du design, a édicté 10 grands principes de "bon design". N'importe quel Mac traduit certaines de ces règles, et chaque grande révision matérielle pousse toujours plus en ce sens.
Notamment l'idée selon laquelle “Le bon design, c'est aussi peu de design que possible” à savoir “Moins, mais mieux : parce qu’il privilégie les aspects essentiels, les produits ne sont pas chargés d’éléments accessoires.
