This year ’s Prince Philip Designers Prize — the old design awarding in the UK — went to Bill Moggridge , the human beings who designed the world ’s first laptop . You ’re possibly take this on one of its grandchild — but is yours as gorgeous calculate ?
It ’s incredible that the Grid Compass computer — make means back in 1982 — still retains its industrial design languor . It ’s ungainly , trusted , owing to proficient constraints of the time — but the matte black finish and tight slant are still enough to get us all blistering and bothered . By computer designing standards , at least . And it was tough , too — built well enough to be taken into blank space on NASA commission .
It ’s also worth noting the obvious — that 28 long time later , the fragile , fastest , and most overall advanced components in the mankind are still inside Moggridge ’s canonic grapple form factor . Great pattern does n’t just work well — it get around . [ Design CouncilviaDezeen ]
