Products are the tools and toys we use to enhance our experience of, and interaction with the world around us. At best they bring comfort, convenience, and delight into our daily lives. At worst they add clutter, chaos, and undue complexity. I have always felt that the road less traveled is the truest…where least is most..where truth, simplicity, and authenticity thrive…and where the most important components of any product system are the heart, mind, and soul of a human being…
