RFID key mixed with and old key assemblage
Posted: February 12th, 2009 | 1 Comment »
An intriguing mix of the bleeding-edge of recent times (seen at my hotel in Paris yesterday):
- this rfid key that you swipe on your door to enter your room
- the stability of the past: this old and commong keyring which is so heavy that you would not keep the rfid key in your pocket during a whole day: you must put it back at the hotel desk when you get out (delegation in design).
The flat, sober and white plastic key and the old copper keyring.
Urgh, what an odd object.
Sounds like a good brief to put through our RFID workshops:
‘design an RFID object that you wouldn’t want to carry with you…’
