Dezeen Wire: in her latest article for The New York Times design critic Alice Rawsthorn strikes a blow against the current trend for naming products with confusing, forgettable or misleading monikers.

The issue was raised by a new housing development near Rawsthorn’s residence in London entitled the ‘Avant-garde Tower,’ that Rawsthorn claims has “nothing original about it, nor radical, provocative, subversive or any of the other qualities associated with the avant-garde.”

In a brief summary of the history of product naming, Rawsthorn describes the rationale behind memorable titles such as Concorde and laments the bizarre use of punctuation in product names such as the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Th!nk electric vehicles.

Dezeen Wire: in a review of the new Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design in London by Stanton Williams Architects, Suzy Menkes of the New York Times admires the combination of glass, open spaces and reuse of the exiting building, claiming they make the campus “seem inviting and all-embracing,” and adding that ”the meld of heritage and modernity seems a particularly British combo.” – The New York Times

I was back in NYC during the winter holidays and on the way to the MoMA with my mother, I noticed the man shown above. The first thing that struck me was his attire- a deep brown suit with a bold green sweater along with a well-chosen tie and button-down collared shirt. They all complimented his white hair and beard rather well. What’s more, he had a fantastic British accent and had attracted a sizable crowd for selling cheap carrot peelers.

Today I read about him in The New York Times and found out about his passing on Sunday. It’s amazing how Ades handled the power of context and the value of experience. His iconoclastic sartorial sense and his refined, confident speech drew crowds to watch him peel carrots. I have no doubt that people bought the peelers as a memento of his performance, and not a tool for the kitchen.
