I could do that ...
Actually, I don't want to do that. This article makes me pretty sure that I could be pretty good in the industrial design field. "Why," might you ask?
Because this thing is hideous. A coffee-table designed to look like an iPod. It's ridiculous. The iPod, while still looking like a refrigerator with a screen, looks good while small. But a giant one is rather ... disgusting.
Sure, it's a novel idea, but it's fucking ugly. Did I already say that? One more time won't hurt. I have no doubt I could design a nicer table than that. And this guy is in school for design.

Agreed. I have little concept of fashion/asthetics/whatever, but that's just dumb.
When I lived with architecture majors, I always thought that designs that supplanted old ideas into new mediums without any practical reason seemed lame. Hell, call me pragmatic, but if there isn't a practical reason for a design, and it doesn't do anything except re-expressing something in a ridiculous context, is there really a justification at all?
Oh yeah--and it is UGLY.
What the hell though, it did take some effort, so kudos for that...

And the bananas are over-raw.
