Design Icon: The Safety Pin
After much deliberation the safety pin was my #1. The runners up featured here are: Olympus Trip 35, Kodak Brownie, Marmite, Bic Biros, SME Series III tonearm, Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce, Corgi "James Bond" Aston Martin DB5, BBC LS3/5A Loudspeakers, Penguin Books, Jacob Jensen designed B&O Beolit 707 Radio, Mondaine Swiss Railway Watch, Keith Murray designed Wedgewood Tankards and - of course - LEGO!
Taken on Thursday 4th February 2010 in my kitchen.

K100 D Super
Fitted with Clubman 28mm manual focus lens set on f8 (not sure about the shutter speed, varied with the light, I suppose)
All taken on the morning of 5th February on a long trek around town (you try fiding three different lesser boxes all in sun!)
Best wishes,
Andrew

Whether or not something is a design icon is for you to decide but it would obviously help if I agree with you
This could be something large such as the Milau Bridge, something small such as a Rolex watch, something medium sized such as a Mk. 1 Golf GTi, something that you might own such as a Spotmatic, something rare that hefty1 might own such as a Ferrari 275 GTB, something that Prieni owns such as Bang & Olufsen 'kit' etc. etc.
The usual Fortnightly Competition rules apply with the primary rule being the requirement for the photograph to have been taken between now and 6.00pm GMT on Wednesday 17th February 2010.
Enjoy selecting and photographing your chosen subject
