Rock, Scissors, Paperclips
Just in the nick of time, I've found another source of inspiration. The three-volume "Phaidon Design Classics" is chock full of pictures and stories of 999 well-designed objects that remind me how simple and how old a good idea can be. Take scissors--Phaidon starts with a pair developed in China in 1663 by Zhang Xiaoquan.
Or paperclips. Or amazing chair after amazing chair which all seem to have been designed prior to 1920.
