Carlos Slim? Verónica Castro? Maybe you're familiar with these names, maybe not. But these MexICON Platters from the design studio DFC sure steal my heart quicker than any Fornasetti piece I've seen. Originally DFC founders Tony Moxham and Mauricio Paniagua conceived this series as homage to Fornasetti, and used famous Mexican pop icons in place of Fornasetti's ubiquitous choice. The group includes faces of poet Pita Amor, telecommunications magnate Carlos...Read more

A closer look at this watch will show that the viewing axis has been rotated 30 degrees, allowing you to read the time without bending your arm or wrist. I bet it would take a little while to get used to it, as we're all so accustomed to the habit......Read more

Made from a completely recyclable thermoplastic polymer, this chair is suitable for both indoors and out. While the silhouette offers a pleasing fluid shape, the apparent comfort and 'ergonomic versatility' will make the price tag that much more understandable.

I'm an industrial design student...Read more
