Isn't that their staple gun? I'm talking about desktop or handheld
staplers, but...same idea. If it's the one I think it is, it's even
reasonably
attractive.
My point was, though, that stuff has to be good looking.
"Counterculture"
isn't going to cut it for a commercial product...we need widespread
acceptance, and that comes from intelligent, but also attractive design.
We basically need to create a new classic...the Beetle, the Eames Classic
chair, the design of Fallingwater, the iMac...they all redefined design,
and
introduced us to beauty in a whole new form.
