Martin Brolin exemplifies the design strategy where solutions only change the problem to a new form. That is what makes the inventions funny. Basically Tsunamipants are a design statement, it shows with traps not to fall into. | Martin Brolin exemplifies the design strategy where solutions only change the problem to a new form.
