I have never wanted more to buy something that doesn’t exist than I do when I’m looking at this. A product designer was given the task of creating concepts for Star Wars merchandise, and while a lot of his ideas were accepted and manufactured, he gives some of his favorite “rejects” to the internet for the world to see. Sad, yet inspiring, because they can all illustrate the creativity and cleverness that goes into the conception of product design.
