Defendius Door Chain — Episode 2: 'Not a joke'

Huuoyh

I was so informed last evening by Laura Sweet, who sent me the following email:

    Hey Joe,

    The Defendius Door Chain [above] isn't a joke. It's not available for purchase but it was a design challenge, like the ones that Art.Lebedev Studio often does.

    The people who worked on it are as follows:

    Art director: Artemy Lebedev

    Designer: Oleg Morev

    Industrial designer: Konstantin Chirkov

    Modeler: Alexey Zalata

    Visualizator: Dmitry Dolgih

    Manager: Vera Dorofeyeva

....................

On behalf of myself and Rocketboy, please accept our sincere apologies for mischaracterizing this signature creation in an aside in yesterday's final post.

And do let me know if/when it goes on sale so I can feature it here.

I will try to do better in the future.

Oh dear - Art Director, Visualizatorificator, Manager - no wonder it's silly, it's designed by a committee.

this lock would have been so cool if audrey hepburn had to maneuver it in Wait Until Dark

Well, Think Geek still has it listed as a joke. And it was released on April Fool's day.

Of course, it's still rather silly/pointless/anti-useful.
