I'll see your Prime pic and raise you one of deeze:
Yeah baby!
Have one of those
And one of those
I need one of these
Abusing the "admire" loophole to the utmost, on the basis that the thread desperately needs a higher nerd quotient...
And actually, honestly, I think all the above are much more interesting & imaginative designs than anything else posted in the thread. As for the relevance to how I dress? Obviously limited as cosplay has never been my thing!
Perhaps, though, they reflect that I've never taken real-life objects terribly seriously. Home decor, high-end gadgets, watches, cars... none of them really grab me though they certainly offer some transient amusement. Cleverly crafted food & drink ranks a little higher perhaps. But most of the artisanal/handwork aspects intrinsic to the make of things that many enjoy appreciating on SF goes right past me and I don't "feel" all the various shoe/whatever pron-type threads beyond a vague "yeah, OK, pretty shoes" level. I can appreciate it intellectually, of course, but not emotionally. A well put together outfit, though, that I find engaging because it's a well-sketched manifestation of an imaginary idea. The components and their history/nature/make, matter much less to me than the synthetic whole. Not zero, mind, but less. The pics above are of clever ideas; somehow their very unreality/impracticality enhances that in my mind.

gillette super speed double edge razors - both the 40s and 50s versions are nice. i'm not hardcore enough for straight razors. i tried. i failed.hell yes. that is one majestic starship.
push up soap dispensers - lots of potential, yet oddly neglected by designers. this one looks ok, but it belongs in a hotel.
secretary desks - now that everybody's regular desk is taken up by their computer, they don't have space to read and write on paper. this one was designed by g. tibergaard nielsen.
sheaffer targa ballpoint pens - inertia! it even applies on the scale of fingertips. i write much more legibly with a heavier pen.
