Structural cues: Sculptural products; Bold color and wit; Alliances of firms and designers; Material experiment. Accent cues, used sparingly: Capsule forms; Molded plastic; Spheres; Vivid synthetic color. Composition: Concentrate the mechanism at one point and free the remaining silhouette. Type and lettering: One logo only, set small and following the curve of the body. Let one material quality come from the second style: Molded plastic, foam, glowing milky panels, saturated single color paint.. Mood: Luxury, Play, Exhilaration, Futurism.

Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Postwar Industrial Design, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Italian Bel Design: When odd shapes and primary colors come first, the object grows awkward to hold and easy to break, reading as a prank rather than wit.
# - Space Age Design: Curves and vivid color alone read as cheap plastic, so unless mold seams and paint gloss are controlled the result looks like a toy.
