Has anyone Cranbrooked an iPod or a Nano yet?
I like Dieter Ram and I guess if you have to compy design language to do design, Dieter Ram is good to copy.

But...

But if its okay to knock off Dieter in iPod/Nano forms, I reckon its okay to knock off Cranbrook language in an iPod/Nano, too.

Is anyone doing this in an iPod, Nano, or MP-3 player?

I really think a white iPod with a little teak trim would help me warm up to iPods and Nanos in a way that I have not been able to over the years.

Another approach I could warm to would be an iPod/Nano/MP-3 made half the thickness of the current players and then formed in the shape of a potato chip (plain, not ruffles). Maybe even make it the same color as a potato chip. Maybe even give it a slight texture. Hold the oily and salty feel, however. :-)

Cranbrook as a design languag...
Cranbrook as a design language? I haven't considered that kind of formality. Cranbrook strikes me as institutional unlike the Bauhaus. Bauhaus as a design language...is obvious.

Woofwoof...
I was thinking of Cranbrook form language or style in the way Koen mentioned it once. He said, if I am recalling correctly for a year or so ago, that at Cranbrook they bleneded the Bauhaus with Arts and Crafts style achieve less severity and more sensuousness and playfulness. He mentioned the Eames, who emerged from Cranbrook, and their work as indicative of what he was referring to. Perhaps he will correct me if I misunderstood or have not recalled clearly.
