Plumen lightbulb<br />
We curse low-energy<br />
lightbulbs as they<br />
struggle <strong>to</strong> warm up.<br />

Sony Walkman<br />
The original version<br />
of this portable music<br />
device, invented<br />
in the late 1970s,<br />
revolutionised the<br />
music industry,<br />
enabling human beings<br />
<strong>to</strong> listen <strong>to</strong> tunes on<br />

<strong>to</strong> work, jogging and<br />

never be the same<br />

Barcelona chair<br />
Some of the coolest bot<strong>to</strong>ms in his<strong>to</strong>ry have<br />
parked themselves on the Barcelona chair.<br />
Originally created by German designer Ludwig<br />
Mies van der Rohe in the late 1920s, this piece of<br />
furniture became de rigueur in stylish households.<br />
The author Tom Wolfe described it as “the Pla<strong>to</strong>nic<br />
ideal of chair. When you saw the holy object you<br />
knew you were in a household where a fledgling<br />
architect and his young wife had sacrificed<br />
everything <strong>to</strong> bring the symbol of the godly<br />
mission in<strong>to</strong> their home.”<br />
