A love story about...industrial objects

German designer Konstantin Grcic is drawing worldwide acclaim for his design work, which just happens to focus on industrial objects.

He says all his design decisions are determined by what the project will do, not how it will look. An exhibition of his work, called "Design Real," focuses on the relationship of particular objects to daily life -- and how their design was influenced by industrial culture. His work is described as being similar to the approach of artists in the "Relational Aesthetics" movement.

The New York Times ran a story about the exhibition in its recent Arts section.
