It’s all shiny and new, and all ugly things are banned.
Its got me thinking a lot recently about the attitude we take to designing functional things.
From web forms to office cleaning products, I’ve concluded that necessary is only as boring as you decide it’s going to be.
Take this work from Stockholm Design Lab have done for Japanese mail order company Askul. I can’t remember the last time I thought; ‘Wow, I really want those bin liners’.

Aren’t they lovely? I’m not even really into makeup, but i love the colours and the quirkyness of the squirrel pattern. Alas – I was not able to resist.

Just goes to show, a little bit of good design can go a long way.
