The Science of Products

Analytical explainers that dissect the design, engineering and business decisions behind real products and brands. Recurring content includes case studies of materials and form (e.g., why glass Coke tastes better), brand and design philosophies (Muji, simplicity), product mechanics (coffee hardware) and practical strategy or career advice for product designers and creators. Emphasis is on understanding how and why design choices work (or fail), not on consumer reviews.
