My first thought when I saw this was “That designer is an idiot, that makes it so difficult to interact with!” and then I read the text and I realized that was what he was aiming for :P

Design firm IDEO created a design concept for the future of self-service banking in hopes to put an end to robotic, inhuman experience of using a modern ATM. Starting from scratch, the company’s work has lead to a visually enhanced machine that is closer to human interaction.

Yea, but their interface design is terrible. As one of the computer designers in Objectified noted, when it comes to technology, it is not so much the product design that matters, but what happens when we turn the thing on.

Kawaii toaster oven by Naoto Fukasawa (he also designs for MUJI), part of his plus minus zero line. “Can be used for toasting mochi, pies, bagels, and thick slices of bread, too.” Small, cute, and doesn’t take up a lot of space. 

This is one of the best toasters I have seen, and addresses a problem I have always hated: I can never see into my toaster to see if the toast is ready.
