In 1959, Fortune published a "fascinating and brash" project that set out to discover the 100 best-designed products of the modern era. The list was compiled by Jay Doblin, the director of the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), based on a survey sent out to 100 of the era's top designers, architects, and design teachers. The result is a fascinating document for modern eyes - perfectly illustrating mid-century design philosophy, yet often mirroring contemporary tastes: sleek sports cars by Porsche and Cisitalia, and even sleeker armchairs by Eames, Aalto, and Saarinen. Domestic appliances with forms foreshadowing Sputnik and the start of the Space Age. Above all, a deep appreciation for the aesthetic beauty not just of luxury goods but also the practical items that improve people's lives on a daily basis.
In 2019, to recognize the 60-year anniversary of the original list, Fortune again partnered with the IIT Institute of Design (ID), now under the deanship of Denis Weil, to re-create the survey. Following Doblin's methodology as closely as possible - with some sensible modern tweaks - ID polled educators, influencers, freelance designers, and corporate design teams on the creations they consider truly great. After more than a year of planning, surveying, and consolidation, we present to you the 100 iconic designs that rose to the top.

This $20,000 carbon-fiber rooftop camper powered by solar energy can sleep two adults Redtail Overland.Redtail OverlandRedtail Overland has unveiled its flagship carbon fiber roof top camper tents.There are two versions: the Redtail 90 that can fit two adults, and the Redtail 110 that can fit two adults and two children.The Redtail 90 starts at $20,000, and the Redtail 110 is an extra $5,000.The tents are available for preorder now.Redtail Overland has unveiled its flagship carbon-fiber rooftop camper tent that can turn a vehicle into a camper.The "hard-sided" rooftop tents, or RTCs for short, includes several features that can often be found in a traditional camper van, such as outlets and light fixtures, without needing an actual converted van base. And unlike traditional camping tents that take time to set up, the RTC — which are available in two sizes — can be assembled and taken apart in 30 seconds with the help of its foldable, hinged walls.All of the tents, which are currently available for preorder, will be hand built to order in Colorado by Redtail Overlander, which was founded by former EarthRoamer executives husband and wife Ty and Annie Tatro. The large Redtail 110 and its smaller counterpart, the Redtail 90, tents are both expected to be produced in August with the intent of being on the market by October.The Redtail 110 is listed for $25,000, while the Redtail 90 is slightly cheaper at $20,000. Rooftop tents and pop-top campers aren't a new concept. For example, Fjordsen is producing inflatable tents that can be mounted on the roof rack of almost any car, while many camper van conversion companies have already started including pop tops in their van builds.However, Redtail Overlander sets itself apart from soft roof top tents and pop top vans with its interior features, carbon fiber tent shell, and power systems.Keep scrolling to see more:
