time phor philosophy. the big question (one of the big questions):
? should design reflect timeless beauty, or
? should design reflect the Zeitgeist

I am fascinated by the angular cousines Alfa Alfa and Impromptu, as I am by the greenhouse sisters Azteca and Paraiso. But they do look like period pieces.

When I look at the White Rabbit (the first one!), and the Paminusch (the second one!), I feel these designs can never grow old.

And just think how boring it would be to see only boats like those two I mentioned as examples of timeless beauty.

On the other hand, it makes me nervous to look at Alfa Alfa. Still I have to.
