Sounds are everywhere. We want to block out sounds we don’t want to hear and choose what we listen to. All of us.

At the same time we’re not very good at being considerate to others and we don’t seem to care much about the quality of the sounds we do listen to.

Function always beats form as far as we are concerned. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the design. On the contrary. The design should reinforce and strenghten the function… have a look at this Japanese company http://henderscheme.com/work/ap.html
Beauty in simplicity. What do you think?
