<p> It is relatively small and dark red. Three wheels provide it with ample mobility, and it is strong enough to withstand the weight of two people. It is affordable, brand new and beautifully made out of stainless steel and cheap plastic. It is easy to clean, makes dull coffee and is wooden housing smells like wooden housing should. Only one inch wide, it has a height of 112 centimeters. It is up to date and old-fashioned. Rumour has it that there is one in the old residence of the Mayor of Barcelona. Entirely consisting of foam, it is smooth and soft. It cuts bread too. It is difficult to master, but holds enough power to run for sixteen hours, cleans floors and is upholsterd with flower patterned linen. It is water resistant and the rear part is bright orange. It has a microchip, a disc and a small screen and it opens with a nylon zipper. It is Vivian. </p><p> </p><p> Time in Design is about one of those ideal future products and simultaneously about all of them. It tells the story of Vivian, a name representing any product. Vivian's story and projects are richly illustrated with examples to clarify the basic theme: design for lifespan extension and sustainability of product value. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
