Something that has lasted me a very very long time, which I love is my Lindberg glasses. Although the poly carbonate black plastic which attaches to the titanium frame has lost its glue and adhesive, the glasses have actually served me well ever since I bought them around 2011, which has been over a decade. When I first bought the frames, they seemed insanely expensive at around seven dollars US, yet it was a great decision, because to me it was a perfect design, and the titanium was insanely light and extremely durable. For all practical reasons, the only things I’ve had to replace are the lenses overtime, as either they broke, scratched, or my vision got worse.
I really like the new iPhone Pro in white because the stainless steel on the edges are naked, pure. A huge downside is that there is an insane amount of glare from the stainless steel edges, which is extremely distracting when you’re using your phone as a GPS device. Yet, I still think that the iPhone Pro in White is superior to the iPhone pro in black.
Also, I recently started using this very lightweight stainless steel cup for my coffee, and I really liked it. I love how light it is, and how easy it is to keep clean. Even currently living at Cindy’s moms house, a lot of her appliances and hhouse things are made of stainless steel, and they have lasted well for over a decade. They are extremely resistant to wear and tear, very robust. Not as wabi sabi as wood, but from a industrial design perspective, fantastic.
Also when I stayed at my friend Chris’ house, he had this really cool titanium cup, which is typically for camping, but it seemed like a very good cup for around the house as well. Even lighter, more durable and stronger than stainless steel.
Next iPhone Pro — make it out of titanium?
