"What do you get when you cross a dishwasher and a marocco pillow?
Domestic appliances? Or a piece of furniture? To me it's not important
if the products fit traditional categories. Quite the contrary. Innovative
designsolutions often lies inbetween common categories. If you have
design issues in 2009 it's most likely because the ordinary products
does not fulfil the current needs. I am interested in the needs and
issues that lies behind, that's where I start when I design products.
USUS products often end up as hybrids, outside wellknown categories,
based on this approach." Isabel Ahm. Founder of USUS.
