  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

  5. So amazing. I've always felt Hartmut Esslinger's (frogdesigndesign) design prototype, the Apple FlatMac, is one of the most impressive prototypes of them all. I was fascinated upon first seeing it in the book _Appledesign_.

    For me, the keys are the magic here!
