1. what makes designers and consumers desire these objects?
These objects make designers and consumers desire because these objects ( "Topple" shelf and "Now watch") are unique design and have speciality function than usual product like that. from the bad design or make sense design will create an unique design. The other side this products have speciality or another functions.
for example "Topple" shelf by Julian Appelius, a shelf that is deliberately unstable, which is a reason for bad design, but the designers continue to see design that doesn't quite make sense.
Example:
Julian Appelius discusses 2 products that illustrate this idea: cone-shaped paper cups and angled library tables. each of these products is designed so that it can still perform its function, but restricts the user from using it in other ways. in the case of the cup, the pointy design prevent users from leaving their cup on the table, while still allowing them to drink from it. in the case of angled library table, the desk is designed so that while users are reading documents they are unable to also rest any food or drink on the table.
Another example, the functions of a watch is usually only to tell time, but the "now watch", which is a faceless watch that only has the word "now" written on it, the reason watches like this are made is because they provide a function beyond telling the the time. In the case of the watches, the very notion that they don't tell time is their function, signifying the wearer's personality.
How and where would you place them within contemporary design and culture?
I would place these product into contemporary design in innovation and fashion.
My opinion regarding the subject matter is these products have unique design but, that doesn't make sense, it may have been designed that way for a reason.
PART B
Definition of "Now Watch"
This watch for unisex and people will never again need to worry about running out of batteries or think about daylight saving time. It’s simply “the most accurate time piece ever invented. A timely reminder of the only moment that really matters - NOW. The NOW watch consists of reflective metallic lettering on a traditional watch face that rests on a black leather cuff band. The black unisex design fits all wrists on both men and women.It would also be the end to that strange phenomena when you look at your watch and someone then asks you what time it is.
2. I feel it is just ordinary watch. this watch just simple and the color of the watch naturally, but im curiousity
with this functions of watch.
what kind of emotions does it trigger you?
I am a little bit confuse with the symbol of "now" in the watch. what is mean?
after i read about the features and functions inside the now watch, i have understood, this watch made for
accurate in all time zones throughout the entire universe. A timely reminder of the only
moment that really matters - NOW. The NOW watch consists of reflective metallic lettering on
a traditional watch face that rests on a black leather cuff band. The black unisex design fits all
wrists on both men and women.It's a fun and great idea, but it should come with an ice pack,
because every time somebody asks you the time and you whip this out and tell them "Now"
you're going to get punched in the eye.
