    Ikea Antilop high chair.

    Ergonomic genius (zero adjustment but somehow fits a huge range of kid sizes), no crevices, no fabric, no padding, cheap, indestructible, jetwashable 🙂

    without getting into the relative arguments about strat vs tele vs LP, the strat is an ergonomically fabulous bit of kit as well as it being the design that stood apart from all the other designs that are borrowed from acoustic guitar design templates

    The old British Rail logo was a masterpiece and was heavily inspired by Switzerland where they still do it properly. it contributes to the whole experience of travelling by train – look at the clarity of the info on that platform board.

    That SL1210 has won the thread as far as I’m concerned. I’ve owned mine for pretty much exactly half of my life and I can’t see myself ever letting go of them. Interestingly, it looks like they are still worth almost exactly what I paid for them in 1999.
