Design by Sam Hecht? What design?

Product for snobs by snobs. The snob even put his name on it so snobs that buy it can show it to other snobs and they can guffaw at how snobby they are.

And then wonder where they put the lid.

I understand…Its a black box, ordinary, minimal and uninteresting blending into the desktop landscape, just a tool for a job like a screwdriver.

Theres nothing new to see here, so why bore the public by its presence ?

Does it takes 3 minutes to explain the reasons to make a black shiny box.
We, designer we should stop to mentally masturbate to justify the lack of ideas and direction… where is the fun, the irreverence, the dream….

There is so much more to be explored to re-think the boring desk landscape….

Everybody after Apple…. let’s make it black though….

Yeh I kind of agree with Nobby not really anything revolutionary, just a nice little black box, I’d still rather buy a top of the range USB key as this still seems too big,

I appreciate Sam Hechts work and I understand his ethos but I find his products rarely desirable and often bland compared to those of other designers that have the same “functional/modernist” approach eg Dieter Rams, Fukasawa, Morrison etc…

Sheeesh! It’s just a black box. Hardly a revolutionary design. And even fag packets have unlosable caps.
