Hate On Industrial Designers'/Philippe Starck Thread

I’ve got a pair of Safety Glasses made out of the same stuff - can take a 12 guage at close to point blank and won’t shatter…

This thing, whilst it looks reasonably cool (aside from the weird Headtube angle/negative rake), will be noodly as fuck. NOODLY.

Handy.

I’d fill it up with water and put a goldfish in it.

Would be perfect for Japan

…and turns into a dildo saddle?

A tick to this one for notbeing just cad renderings, won’t live up to Kaynes standards for ride quality I suspect

Shit just got real kids:

If It’s Hip, It’s Here: Philippe Starck’s PIBAL, an Urban Hybrid Bike/Scooter, Gets Produced In 3000 Units by Peugeot.

This would be even worse as a scooter than a bike, with pedals right in the way of your kick (I still have a Kickbike, I know about these things).

Offering a slab of coopers for the first FoA member to travel to Bordeaux and come back with a pic of one of these up a tree.

Dude couldn’t even be bothered changing out of his ugg boots for the presentation. That’s how many fucks he gives.

Near the bottom theres a little box saying “What you need to build your bicycle”. There is no chain on the list. And the pics dont have chains on, either… is there something I’m missing? Other than that, I think its a well-meaning idea that people here in Aus wont like cos we have too much cash-la.

The one pictured with the husky woodsman doesn’t appear to have a chain.

This one is a little agricultural for an industrial design nightmare scenario. Look at those welds!

Is that a jug of cider of some shit??

Apparently it’s a 1 gallon jug of beer, which poses the real important question here: why can’t I buy one of those from the bottlo?

The tap house and a bottle shop opposite kingsford dan murphys sell growler bottles

You’re not going to the right bottle-o: Australia’s Growler Filling Stations - Crafty Pint

Thanks guys, I know what I’m doing this weekend.

No chain, no spokes, no triangles…
