A Thread for Fine Design

Actually there may be madness in their method. sic
I read somewhere that they invert them so that it does not look like a face so that toddlers won't fool with them.

I think it's actually done so it's harder for the plug to fall out if it's a little loose.

What key combination do you use to invert them?

TIGs mirror plugin or -1 scale.

I think the Sketchboard might appeal to some here that enjoy sketching on tracing paper with a fat clutch pencil ..... I for one enjoy the feel!

Anton Reinig from Berlin has designed the Sketchboard to keep the process nice and tidy. I also thought that he has not overpriced the device at $30 and his target figure is very realistic so it will more than likely be a runner.

Who wouldn't want one! The Hover Bike (sorry Pilou I missed your post,http://forums.sketchucation.com/report.php?f=72&p=422736 but I think it still deserves to be included here)

Sorry - we can't find that page

Fine design? Maybe not, but very fine creativity and an absurdly aesthetic eye.

I think it qualifies for sure.
It looks like an old commercial structure by the exposed mechanical, and wiring, and even some of the fixtures which fit the context so well. Plus the thoughtful way the key fixtures are mobile, means the space can be altered to any purpose.
But really I just love the funk

These are great, but I think there is a fortune to be made by someone coming up with a card that unties the not for divorces

I could probably find more pleasing to the eye boats but I love the interior of this one, its so spacious.

The 73 is my favourite but its not big enough to live on
