Design against Crime

The artist Khashayar Naimanan has been known for producing work which hides it's true wealth. So instead of having flashy displays of excessive luxuries he hides the products true value with the aid of clever design techniques. He was first noted for this with his tableware design called Incognito in 2005. Now this summer the designer has released the tableware collection Strativarious, showing the element of Luxury hidden on the bottom underneath the tableware.









Some critics suggest Khashayar Naimanan is clever in his design to prevent crime (as potential stealers will not see the value without picking up and looking at the bottom of the product)

However, in my opinion if i am going to spend a lot of money on designer products i want to show off i am in possession of such a luxury item and have the designers
name on show!
