Harrods Celebrates Design Icons, Christian Lacroix Holds the Syrup

As all of our friends jet off to Milan, we’re pretending to be in London, where today Egyptian-flavored department store Harrods begins its “Design Icons” series of events, in-store displays, and great lectures. The all-around celebration of “the leading designers and their products which have burned an impression on the collective consciousness over the past half century” runs through May 24, and true to form, the store’s operative question is, “How many of these infamous products do you own?”

The design objects making the icon cut include the Dyson vacuum, the yo-yo, the Castaglionis‘ Arco lamp, the Swiss Army Knife, and the Etch-a-Sketch (which coincidentally, is what we use to draft UnBeige posts).
