116 - Are Bicycles Actually Beautiful?
James and Nick catch up on recent projects, from a Lego-inspired barricade moment to the surprisingly complex reality of building a two-ton “rock chair.”
They then dig into a bigger design question: what makes an object truly beautiful versus merely cool, playful, or hyper-functional—using bicycles, keyboards, and iconic industrial design examples as the spark for a spirited debate.
