The rest of the designer’s description of the Pebble reads like some 19th century political manifesto: “The state of things now: sameness sits on assembly lines; sameness lives on shelves; sameness is in hands of consumers. Need it be this way – where color is the only distinguishing feature?” Frankly, I agree with him. Why does color (which we go crazy over) have to be the only distinguishing thing in products nowadays.
