  4. You suggest that low Volume = Iconic.

    Could be,but not always.

  6. I would say that something that is only available in one place to a very limited amount of people cannot be an icon. It surely has to be something that is recognised, if not by a majority, at least by a very large amount of people has having a certain social status or role.

    My previous employers are also the owners of Bushmills, so it's not as if I have anything against the brand. It could of course be iconic in NI. Probably is, even.

  7. I was going to nominate the wife, when I realised that the thread said " Iconic ", not " Ironic",,

  8. Just Google the word 'iconic' and you'll see how wrong some people are getting it. It certainly has nothing to do with exclusivity or price. It seems a few people have posted on this thread just to show how flash they are, which totally missing the point.

  14. I have one of these [Harry Bertoia Diamond Chair]...does it count?


    (I found it in a pile of "rubbish" that they were chucking out from the old BAC Concorde Design Office when I worked there in the 1980's)

    Heinz tomato ketchup (esp in the original, completely impractical narrow-necked, tall bottle)
    Marmite?

  20. I have to admit that I still own some Kouros and if it's an Iconic object then so is Denim & Old Spice.

    Drives ladies wild? Certainly good at keeping Mosquitos off you :biggrin:
