This is a pretty modern couch. It looks very futuristic, having that feel of minimilism. I feel like it is a very bold and striking couch, but yet in a room it could almost look invisible. I like the way that the wiring flows  around the object, it looks almost like some sort of computerised design. Dont know if it will be very comfortable tho. Not really a good choice for people who like their homes to look warm and cosy, I would say that this piece of furniture is for someone very modern, thats likes their homes to have clean lines and bold structures.


This is an interesting way to look at furniture, using a suitcase as a chair. Its a great innovate design, it is bold and eye-catching, it has a lovely vintage feel, taking recycling to another level. It makes me think of "old-country" almost like "farm town". It has a bit of a southern feel because of that old portrait painted in the middle.

This is a beautiful Boodles neck piece. I love it because it is elegant and delicate, I think it would absolutely make a statement and complete an outfit. It has got a lovely flow to it leading your eye down to the main featured stone, I also feel like it has a light whimsical feel to it. Very classy. Timeless design.
This is an interestingly new way of designing watches, going from the ordinary faces to something way more funky and innovative. The way that they have designed the way the watch tells the time, cleverly slots into the total face feature. It is a very classy, blingy yet bold design, with a mechanical hint.

What makes good design?

For me,it depends on what is aesthetically pleasing to a fairly large group of people. Others will like your design depending on their personal likes and dislikes their personal taste and style, so what makes a good designer would be someone that can hack into those people's personas and mold their research into something that will attract their target market. Good design also depends on wether you have brought your point across clearly and wether you have used your theme of design in an innovative and/or functional way. It also depends on wether your materials, tools and methods suit the look and feel for your type of design. Good design is original, and it is something that will interest not only one group or type of people.
