When bad design happens

Not all ideas are good...

While naming the best and the brightest, Wallpaper fulfills the guilty pleasure of pointing out the design shortcomings of 2006.

It seems that designer Olivier Gregoire was trying to create a purposeful sculpture, but the end-product looks more like a toaster surrounded by shellacked tin foil.

Then there's the truly tasteless Body computer mouse by Sweden's Pat Says Now. The amputated torso is outfitted with clickable left and right breasts -- so glad restraint was shown when it came to a trackball.

The mouse is currently sold out.

Don't even know what to write about that.
