The Goods

 I like good design.
Not decoration, but good practical design.
But can a water bottle be considered as good design?
Water is almost free - why do we need it to begin with?
And making a good looking bottle to contain an almost useless product makes no sense at all.
But these bottles look good on the shelves of ones Electrolux.
 When designers like Phllippe Starck, Paul Smith and Issey Miyake get into the game - you know such an endeavor is superfluous.
 Back in the day, a shelf full of blue TyNant bottles was all the rage.
These days a more ghostly design seems to be appearing on more store shelves.
Designer water in bottles created by top designers?
I guess we've really reached the apex of our culture...
