Do the judges have no design aesthetic? Man-o-man! When I saw the topside photo, of the winning design, I thought Savoy knockoff. When I saw the side view I thought Apollo rocket ship. Rocket ship doesn't exactly scream "water" to me. I think the vases are terrible. Do the judges have no design aesthetic? Man-o-man!

If they were like the savoy it would have been disappointing. The Savoy's are nice but overated anyway. everyone likes them beause they feel they should. its wallpaper hype and you bought into it. not at all michael.
