Tools, Toys, ToolToys
The idea of this book is that the succesful products of the future - those with which the user really identifies - will contain elements of both tools and toys.
The book sets out to identify the properties which make a tool a tool and a toy a toy. It then explores how the properties of both can be united into one single product, a ToolToy.
The LEGO brick and the Swatch are modern classics in this field. The message of the book is that such products are the forerunners which will dominate the market and become an important part of our lives in the future.
