I like straight billiards anyway (and bent ones too), but it is interesting how they can be almost endlessly refined and perfected. That one has such pretty balance and proportion, and the colors have a real harmony.

This illustrates the high quality of industrial design where an artfully designed pipe can be produced on a factory line with exceptional results.

The designer Milton Glaser made the point that he became a designer instead of an artist per se because he wanted to share his vision with thousands or millions of people, not hang a painting on one rich persons' wall at a time.

That is why I post an homage to industrial design on Forums from time to time. The factory pipe does not represent the absence of art.
