80 year old Luigi Colani understands movement. His quest to create products that fit their function so perfectly to the human body has inspired the likes of Zaha Hadid, Marcel Wanders, and Karim Rashid without question; and as our sustainable future fantasy emerges into reality we are sure to see a new flood of design influenced by the holy godfather of ergonomics. Hopefully that means we can finally get shot from front door to coffee shop via mini pneumatic super train but for now we’d still be happy to settle for a working Canon T90 prototype.

Mark Newson is one of the most influential industrial designers of our time. He’s designed just about everything you can think of  from airplanes to cell phone, chairs, dish drainer, a vibrator (yes, that kind), suitcases, tables. He’s so prolific he can’t remember what he hasn’t designed yet.
