#industrialdesign — Public Fediverse posts

Someone mentioned Victor Papanek on Fedi today, and I’m reminded of his story about the 5 MPH bumper regulation that was proposed in Washington DC in 1972: the regulation said that a 5 MPH collision should not damage lights and other safety equipment. Car manufacturers predictably complained about the rule, claiming that it would add $300–$500 to the cost of each car. Papanek claimed that he could make a compliant bumper in 10 minutes for under $5.

Papanek’s solution was called “the hoagie”: two planks of wood with 60 empty beer cans between them. He attached the contraption to a car and drove it into an office building at 10 MPH and the car sustained no damage.

Papanek’s solution was, of course, not commercially viable. But he did prove the point that such a device was plausible and need not cost a fortune.

The cast aluminium of an old pump forms the lamps housing. Four slender stainless steel stilts hold the lamp above a robust terrazzo base.

the day progresses succesfuly - already done some customer sysadmin, and drew a technical sketch for some experiement in industrial design (custom usb stick?!). trying to establish some new collaborators - especially ones making laser and CNC cutting in a small workshop and have love towards art experiments. I hope, I really hope everything works out for 26/may!
