Most likely the "gifts for grandpa" section. Not to rip on Mr. Johnson, but as a designer I question the words "style" and "Form" used here. Style is highly subjective. I am not wanting to start the form/function debate but, the function is almost completely lacking and for what? The form is a square, albeit with "curved sides". Thats not really pushing any boundaries in the form department. neil Duncan is spot on, in his comment, but I’m sure there is a market for these. Most likely the “gifts for grandpa” section.
