He was right up there with Jonathan Ive and Dieter Rams in my humble estimation of industrial and product designers.

Very sad. Walking past the B&O shop always elicits a prolonged Oooooooooh.

Very sad - any innovative character should command the upmost respect. Many people have smiles on their faces because of this one character.

RIP.
