@Design_Week You get what you pay for. In this instance an incredible feat of design meets engineering for an everyday functional object.

@Design_Week Things are only worth what people are willing to pay, so even if it was to look awful it isn't a shock, just good business!

@Design_Week seriously? £400k? Not excessive at all. What a lack of appreciation for design and engineering. Surely this is an investment?
