Yanko Design - Form Beyond Function

Why bring modularity to complicated things like phones and furniture when egg trays need it the most?! The Dot Line egg tray has a unique structure that is accompanied by the fact that it has a dotted tear-away line running like a grid, separating eggs. Not only does this make it easier to purchase an irregular number of eggs (blessing in disguise), but it also allows you to optimize how you store them based on the availability of space. Apartments are getting cramped, with the population boom and all, and we’re running out of space for eggs in our life (drama alert)! Dot Line allows us to lay out eggs in a way that helps make optimal usage of free space. Plus the fact that the egg units can be stacked vertically is just a double whammy!

Dot Line Egg Tray is a Red Dot Design Award winner for the year 2015

Any avid transportation buff will know how cars evolved as a replacement to horse-carriages. All vintage cars retained palanquin-based visual elements. It is only with the birth of the internal combustion engine that the car really began evolving to what it has become today. Cars today have a personality, with most of them having a “face”. BMW’s Experism tries to retain the olden-time palanquin/carriage style in the new car. Experism separates ‘driver/passenger’ from ‘horse/engine’ in a way that is both futuristic as well as vintage.

Ultimately, it superimposes an older idea on how we perceive cars today (even futuristic ones). The result, outwardly, isn’t all that different. No one would say it looks like a horse carriage, but the new layout definitely brings a sense of hierarchy to the car’s design. Don’t you think?!
