Daniel Brown opened up to us about his views on the “constancy of a good form”: "For me, “the durability of a good form” begins with the user’s initial reaction to your design. Strong positive emotional experiences validate the designer’s effort in creating a distinctive product that is both attention-grabbing and potentially enduring. The best designs are built upon problem-solving strategies that creatively blend innovative function with universal aesthetics. Classic examples of these designs stand the test of time. They elicit a strong emotional reaction from users and encompass a purity and simplicity of form and function that differentiate them from their competition. At the beginning of a project, opportunity and creativity unite to create a vision in the innovation process. Optimising this relationship is the creative evolutionary practice that must be mastered to exceed user expectations. When achieved, these visionary distinctions sustain themselves over time and lead to enduring emotional connections with one’s audience. Ultimately, the best of these design efforts become iconic winners in the marketplace, and examples of “the durability of a good form.”" One-handed – designed logic Well-designed tools harmonise with the movements of the human body – they correspond to the logic of the body and complement them. We use tools after all because there are certain things we cannot complete with our hands alone – unlike machines, however, tools cannot be set to operate independent of human control. The Bionic Wrench™ is a functionally designed wrench that combines a movement of the body with highly self-explanatory tool logic. As an adjustable all-around wrench for the household, it conforms and adapts to a variety of nuts and bolts that require tightening or loosening and, in doing so, prevents the corners of the bolts from shearing off – a common problem with other pliers and spanners. Moreover, this tool is well suited for removing fasteners and bolts that have already been damaged, thus solving yet another problem. When the handles of the tool are squeezed together, six hardened steel jaws converge and firmly grab a nut or bolt on all sides.
