The more I study design, the more I see design in everyday life. People often overlook simple every day items not realizing that it is design in some way or another. It is often said that "the best designs are the designs you don't see." It means that the best designs are design so well that it becomes part of the daily life that people don't realize it.
Generally when people think of design, they often think of Ikea furniture, apple products, or Mercedes and Audi cars. But the reality is everything is designed. Only a few of those are truly design well.
Some examples of good designs that most people overlook are: Tupperware, double spout soy sauce bottle, zippo lighter, legos, Bic ballpoint pens, modern day bicycles, and soda cans, letter envelope, the lightbulb, etc.
Next time you use a product, observe how it works, how you use it, how it feels, smell, taste, looks, and sounds like.
