What is a design icon, exactly? True icons are distinctive in their excellence, like a Rolex Submariner. They’re immediately recognizable, like a Hermès Kelly bag. They’re emblematic of a style or philosophy, like the Saarinen Tulip table. They’re beautiful, useful, timeless, and honored worldwide.
