reproduction

This is a reproduction of the classic "Womb" chair designed by Saarinen and originally made by Knoll (I think). The reproduction is around $600 and the original is around $4000. Would be interesting to compare them side-by-side and see if the original is worth the extra cost.

Oakley 3

Another good example. I do not think that it is so much that they have good too far with their Giger-esque alien organic aesthetic. Maybe it just feels extreme because it is so contrary to what everyone else is doing and what their target audience is buying. At least it is distinctive.

over the top

Of course the "time bomb" style below is better than this over-the-top collage of Tissot + Oakley + Casio + megatron. They seem to be searching for relevance but aren't paying attention their core demographic.

Oakley

They have been riding this form language for a little bit too long but this is still working. Although for $2700 you can buy a much nicer watch.

Timberland

Nice to see Timberland testing the elasticity of their brand. Given the rigidity of their retail spaces I thought the whole brand would be on the way out soon

bubble light?

Looks like bubbles to me but the official name is the balloon lamp
