Artifact Design

A while back, I wrote about how if your design produces an undesirable artifact, why not control it to make it desirable? Call it artifact design. Here are two products that control their artifacts beautifully.
Sakurasaku Glasses
Sakurasaku Glasses
These glasses are shaped in such a way that when the condensed water drips down the side and wets the table, it leaves an imprint of a cherry blossom. Such a simple and elegant solution, I wonder why more people don’t do it.
Stain
“Stain is a set of a teacups designed to improve through use.”
By artist Bethan Wood, these teacups stain at an uneven pace so that some parts of the cup turn brown more quickly than other parts. The end result is a beautiful design demonstrating how products can age gracefully too.
