We asked 10 designers "What product do you wish YOU had designed?"



Ben Oostrum: Oh, there are several, for instance the "no fruit" from Anthony Duffeleer, or the supernova by Richard Hutten. They come up right now, but it happens every once in a while that you come across a design that makes you feel jealous. Specially when it's something that you've been working on but couldn't get the right result or are simply just too late!



Frederik Roijé: I appreciate a lot of new and old designs. Especially the designs from Arnout Visser, for instance his Salad Sunrise, I really like.



Laurie Beckerman: Eero Saarinen's pedestal tables. I think it is absolute perfection and forever beautiful. There's nothing out there like it. It's a table that is broken down into the most elemental form. I could never get tired of looking at it. It makes my heart soar. But my deepest wish would be to create something really simple and useful like the toothpick or the Q-tip or the match.



Heath Nash: the geodesic sphere... I also saw a new table by Heatherwick Studio recently in a Japanese mag Axis... It's called Piggy Back by Magis and as the name implies, it piggybacks on another table. It's just so simple and perfect.



Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino: I wish I had designed the Life Straw, which is the best example of design for the ones who need it the most.
