It's not easy to find a company with revenues as big as Apple's that does design so well.

I've noticed that too. There seems to be an inverse correlation between company size and the quality of design. I think Apple is almost pseudo-exception to this though, since their ID team has less than a dozen people. Or maybe it's just because their CEO has taste.

But a lot of the best design still goes completely unnoticed. An object as simple as a Band-Aid might not evoke the same emotional response as a sleek aluminum MacBook or a Porsche 911, but I'd argue that its design is just as revolutionary and even more influential to the world.

Braun to me seems like Apple's older brother. Or at least just Dieter Rams.
