34: Gold Makes Blind, Lockheed Lounge, Three-Finger Salute, Impossible Crochet Machine
Gold Makes Blind is a bangle made from black rubber and gold, although you can’t actually see the gold. The thing about gold makes blind is that you are asked to believe. We’ll explain. 📍 The iconic Lockheed Lounge by Australian designer, Marc Newson was created in 1985 and retains its title as the world’s most expensive design object. What’s the story there? 📍 Three finger salute, but which three fingers? And what does it mean? It turns out that there is more than one answer to this question. 📍 And finally in this episode, did you know that although automated knitting machines have existed for a very long time, to this day it hasn’t been possible to build a machine that automates crochet. Hard to believe, but true.
