Location: New Hampsha | Sometimes designers just get it right. They achieve a flowing design where all the individual lines and curves and design elements join to form an overall item that is more than the sum of the parts. An undeniable joy to behold. We can all come with examples in the car world (Jag XKE), Airplanes (Constellation) or elsewhere.
