Arguably, the iPod is a design classic.
What would be your other three fave designs? 1) Lamborghini Muira 2) Empire State Building 3) The Bic Biro There are a million others but these were the first three that popped into my head. J |

Great thread! Looking forward to seeing others' responses.
Here are the first three that hit me, without putting much thought into it: Original VW Beetle Charles & Ray Eames lounge chair Lava Lamp (hey, I said I didn't put much thought into it!)

I have to brag here - I've flown one! Not flown in one, but waggled the wheel and pushed the throttles!

Okay I thought long and hard about this one...
I'd have to vote (on the basis of the wow effect): - the Pantheon - the Red Blue chair by Rietveld (Ok I confess that was my hubby's choice, I'd have said anything by Bauhaus) and... the human body Honorable mentions among buildings deserve: Penn station (now demolished) Tate Modern Last edited by ginalee; 06-12-2004 at 01:26 PM. |

It was an ex 'meat-hauler' flying back from Colombia (?) to the USA. I flew some circuits in it at Belize International in about 1986.
Hanging around the RAF enclave there in flying kit when the aircraft arrived got me the invite. Being a young, stupid, aviation journo helped me say yes.
