Anyone know if, sitting in a closet somewhere, there are a bunch of frogdesign concept models designed for NeXT?

We've seen plenty of concepts that frogdesign made for Apple.

But with NeXT we've only seen the finished products.

So amazing. I've always felt Hartmut Esslinger's (frogdesigndesign) design prototype, the Apple FlatMac, is one of the most impressive prototypes of them all. I was fascinated upon first seeing it in the book _Appledesign_.

For me, the keys are the magic here!

„Genial Einfach - Die frühen Design-Jahre von Apple“ - Hartmut Esslinger, Gründer von frog design

Dieses Buch ist ein echtes Kleinod und Quell stetiger Inspiration. 😍

For today's #MARCHintosh post, I share a gallery of Apple industrial design prototypes put on display at frog design at the time of Steve Jobs' death. These images were shared with my by erstwhile denizen of DALnet's #macintosh IRC channel, Dan Lieberman, formerly of frog design.

Things I found while consolidating and purging a backup drive: Scans of 1980's Apple sketches and prototypes from the "Snow White" Frog era. Absolutely adore this design language.

Today was my last day at frog (https://www.frog.co/). Here's an excerpt from my goodbye email that sums up my feelings pretty well:

"frog was my dream job for 7 years before I actually joined, and it’s been my dream job for almost 16 years since. But now that dream has been fulfilled. Next week, I will have a new job, but frog will always and forever have been my dream job."

Thank you frog.
