#designoftheday Braun's BC24 alarm clock has a brilliant method for setting either the current time/alarm. Simply rotate the bezel & watch the time advance or retreat. Alas, the clock's form is too chunky & complex. Where's Dieter Rams when you need him?

#designoftheday It's interesting that Dieter Rams chose the Arne Jacobsen Series 7 desk chair with optional seat pad for his home studio. The simplicity of a well designed molded plywood chair is hard to beat. More padding doesn't always mean more comfort.
