I love designs that involve the consumer in the production process. A nice example is this unique Log Radio, which gets you in on the action by arriving as a raw log of pinewood with six built-in radios.
You need to use a hand saw to cut off the radios from the log, one radio at a time, making it a great gift for a family of six.
The Log Radio was awarded the Jury’s favorite selection at the DMY International Design Festival 2008.
