The Essence of Great Design

Whatever the essence of great design is then French designer - Mathieu Lehanneur has it by the bucket load. Digital Break, set up on the Rond Point des Champs-Elysées in Paris is a unique place for people to sit and read or go online in comfort. The hard-wearing concrete swivel seats are equipped with plugs and have mini tables attached to rest an elbow, a book or a computer. And for those not online a large touch screen provides updated information about services in the city: guides, news and augmented reality for tourists and visitors.

He also designed this watch for Lexon which can be worn on the wrist, hung from a belt or a hook and so chic.

 Finally any designer who can make a punch bag look sophisticated has my vote.
