This is the final presentation for my masters degree in design from Domus Academy back in ‘98.
The idea of the project was to design something that could be sold via mail or TV.
I took the challenge to the extreme an came up with The Bestseller, a book holder for your bed.
The design of the object is not the important thing. I wanted to convey a sense of uselessness
that most of the products sold on TV have.
It was recorded in one afternoon with no editing or post-production (quite obvious).
Only the sound was added later.
The model is another story, I took about 2 weeks to finish that!
I had loads of fun making it…
It was the last presentation of that year, and by the time it was shown people were tired of endless
slide presentations… Nobody was expecting something as shitty as this and it completely rocked the boat.
