Product name: Goggomobil Dart


Designer: Bill Buckle


Year of creation: 1957


Why i choose it: The Goggomobil is a vechicle whichi think is made of simplicity. The simplicaty of the actual form drew me to investage further to then relise the car is not like any conventional car. The Goggomobil with headlights like a porche has no panels, this would have been a interesting task in the 50's - 60's to manufacture.





Product name: Talon Chair

Designer: David Granger and Bryan marshall


Year of creation: 1997-2000


Why i choose it: The reason why i choose this chair is because of the fast that it is made of carbon fibre. Being into fast cars, one knows carbon fibre is lightweight and also gives properties which are of high stength. Having read into carbon fibre and the processes involved in makeing anything from the Carbon fibre, manufacturing a chair that is stackable is just genius to me.
