don't know why, just do. Love Philippe Starck. The Cooper-Hewitt Museum. The V&A Museum. Simplicity and purity.
And hence when I see a great site design, I notice. Check this one (congrats on launching it) vs. this one. Which one do you prefer ? I think the Pikeo team (hurrray to Céline, Sean and Pascale) did a GREAT job on graphical design. Williams-Sonoma has also been a long time favourite website design and furthermore, a great job in graphical identity: their shops, brochures, wbe sites all have the same look & feel.
Anyone can point me to a portfolio of great design work on the web ? I'd love to have a look. Or links to sites you just like.
