Oddly Shaped, Ceramic Remote
October 12, 2007 by Lauren
Above, you can see this strange-shaped, ceramic remote. It's minimal, it's modern, and it appears relatively pointless. But believe it or not, its unconventional design serves a purpose.
Whether or not it's a worthy cause? That I can't vouch for, but I can provide a little insight. Designer Yuta Watanabe's explains the motivation as an attempt to end the remote-lost-in-the-seat-cushion syndrome.
Apparently, the train of thought is that perhaps if the remote is decorative and chic, its user won't be so quick to lose the thing. It's a possibility, I suppose, and this remote sure does look nice. Other than that, though, I can't really speak for the effectiveness of the theory. Hey, it was worth a shot.
