ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

There are industrial designers who look at an object and they modify it to improve its features in a specific circumstance. They designed the folding chairs, the anglepoise lamp and the unfolding package for the butter.

There are other designers who look at an object and they modify it with the purpose of worsen its features for any circumstance. They designed the three leg stools, the square-shaped glasses and the sinks with no place for leaving the soap.

    Javier….
    Bien, aunque no estoy de acuerdo con Mauro con respecto al banco de tres patas. ¿Qué no es la forma que más optimiza la función (sentarse establemente) en relación al material empleado?

    Saludos.

    Eso depende si quieres el banco para socializar o solo para sentarte desde arriba hacia abajo. Existe un 3er. tipo de Dise~adores: los que solo opinan :P
