GREAT DESIGN IS TIMELESS

I am a HUGE fan of CORE77 (an online design magazine/blog/resource). I think any serious students of design are well-suited to study the "big picture" of design, and not just their specialty or focus. Design is an overarching discipline, and its a shame that in todays educational marketplace we cannot keep the fraternal and guild-like atmosphere established by historic schools like the Bauhaus...but I digress...

CORE77 recently ran a 3-parter on cases to hold stuff. Much of the innovation was born of necessity by the (now extinct) door-to-door salesman, and later the POP display for the corner shop. Take a look at this wonderfully functional design for a peek at how the solution to sewing-machine needle replacement evolved.
