And why do the casings of monitors, CD players and many other gadgets look like metal but are also made of plastics? Sure – it’s all a question of weight and production costs. In Often, in buildings, transparent plastic sheets are used instead of glass. And why is that? Because, to the great delight of the architects, they can be bent better to the desired shape. Designers get their share of inspiration from these ubiquitous materials as well, and some have popped out world-famous creations.
