1) Karim Rashid's Kaj Watch for Alessi, 2006 - Orange or Black.
Injected plastic is only one piece... That was amazing. They have been producing different colors, but here is a pic...
2) Humberto and Fernando Campana.
Favela Chair (1991), Bamboo+Acrylic chair and folded acrylic chair. They try to integrate elements from their own culture, and use mostly local materials in their designs.
By the way one studied architecture and the other law... http://www.campanas.com.br/ By the way their website is really cool too. It's slow and not really user friendly but cool.
3) And the last time I went WOW for a design, and that I toughed that I really really had to get my hands on it was... definitely the iPhone, despite I know it is kind of a cliche. I've used apple products since I was 4, so that is almost 25 years, so I am not the typical new mac fan. I think what they managed to do in terms of friendly usability is awesome. I also love having everything (phone, agenda, email, ipod, camera, etc) in just one thing.
I also really enjoy seeing how people reuse product for something completely of what they were designed for... adapt them to their own needs... it is all about creativity!
