Lightweight, stackable, smart… and possibly useless.
When we work on a new piece, we try to check a few boxes.
1. Does it bring innovation?
2. Does it benefit the user?
3. Does it make sense in terms of resources and longevity?
4. And yes – does it look good?
But here’s the tricky part: the more we try to tick every single box, the more we risk compromising the very idea that made us excited in the first place. It’s tempting to aim for perfection, a product no client or producer could question. But sometimes that hunt can strip away what makes the design strong.
STACKTON ticks some of those boxes. It’s lightweight, made of aluminium, stackable, and definitely stands out visually. But does it really fill a gap or solve a problem? We’re still not sure.
That’s the challenge: learning when to refine, when to compromise… and when to hold on to the spark that started it all!
For now, STACKTON stays with us, a reminder that the design process is about exploring, questioning, and not always having the answers.
