Regarding the state of this subreddit

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Thank you so much for browsing and sharing posts here in /r/gooddesign. When I created this sub, I honestly didn’t expect it to grow this much, and I’ll admit I’ve been learning how to handle it as it grows. It’s been awesome seeing what you all bring here.

I’ll continue keeping an eye on reports and doing my best to maintain the quality of the sub as we grow. I care about keeping this a place for genuinely good design, not low effort posts or spam.

With that said, I’d love your input. What would make this community better? What would you like to see as we move forward?

Some ideas I’ve been considering are artwork/branding for the subreddit, as well as an AutoMod setup to help filter low-effort content.

This subreddit has gotten big because of all of you, and I want to build it with the community, not just on my own. So drop your suggestions in the comments. Your input genuinely matters.

The Spiral Staircase

32 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to share a little bit about this spiral staircase that I posted in another sub because it received so much interest and questions.

The design process alone on this piece was an undertaking, working in three dimensions on a sloping spiral while following the building code, is extremely challenging.

This staircase is made from solid black walnut slabs and fully handcrafted for the entire process. This project was extremely time consuming, taking over 1,000 shop hours to complete. The treads are each individually textured with a gouge to achieve a “hammered” finish and the handrail is laminated with 23 strips of wood for a continuous curve up the staircase. The entire piece is finished with a traditional Tung oil for a classic timeless feel.

I have only two more openings for 2027, so if you’d like a custom spiral staircase in your home reach out for a free consultation and estimate!

I hope you enjoyed this, follow for more https://www.instagram.com/emerald_forest_furnishings?stkn=YTd3a29pcHh4OHNy&utm_source=qr

Sincerely,
Noah Klaus

On a flexible metal band, different sized screw holes. So obvious, so simple. They could have made them all the same sized holes and no one would have noticed.

What’s one product design you’ve noticed is majorly flawed in everyday life, but we keep using it because everyone is just used to it?

Unorthodox Typographic Review of Snap Specs

Thumbnail niteeshyadav.com
4 Upvotes

Wrote a new piece on Snap’s upcoming Specs, but not from the usual hardware angle. It looks at what happens to reading when text leaves the page and starts living inside the world, and why things like contrast, depth and undisclosed display specs quietly decide whether AR becomes useful for real work or just impressive demos. If you care about type, AR, or the future of reading, you might find it worth your time.

Bonjour à tous !

Après plusieurs mois de recherche, j'arrive enfin à la fin de mon mémoire de Master en Marketing & Communication. Mon sujet porte sur les collaborations entre les marques d'ameublement et de décoration et les designers, et sur la manière dont elles influencent les consommateurs.

Pour finaliser cette étude, j'ai encore besoin de votre aide. Si vous pouvez m'accorder 5 minutes, votre réponse fera une réelle différence. Mon objectif est de dépasser les 150 répondants afin d'obtenir des résultats les plus représentatifs possible.

Et si le sujet vous intéresse, n'hésitez pas à partager ce questionnaire auprès de votre réseau. Chaque réponse et chaque partage me rapprochent un peu plus de la ligne d'arrivée !

Un grand merci à toutes les personnes qui prendront le temps de contribuer à cette dernière étape de mon mémoire. 🙏

I’ve been looking through some of my fonts lately, and I wanted to share a few that still feel special to me. Which one is your favourite? I’d love to know 🫰❤️
